[Steam Beta Update] Mark entire collection as private

[Metaphon]

Hey! I'm currently using the Steam beta update which allows users to mark games as private, preventing them from showing up in your activity/games list/achievements, and so far it's been a great experience but I'd love if there was an option to set an entire collection as private, as most (actually all) of the games I have marked as private are from the same "tooling" collection (stuff like voiceattack, skse, dayZ experimental server, Fallout76 PTS, borderless gaming, etc.).

Being able to set an entire collection as private would save me a huge amount of clicks going forward as I acquire more utils and tooling on Steam.

Thanks beforehand!

Yes, this would be a great addition.

Why don't you uncheck the tools filter instead of marking them as private? Every account has those tools in their library. Marking them private seems redundant.

Doesn't Game details set to private, under you profile's privacy setting do that already?

Never mind, you meant just in that collection. For some reason I read it as the library.

You can also Shift+click the first game and the last game in each collection, right click, manage and Mark as Private.

I use a few of them and wouldn't like them to show up on my profile since I don't consider them to be actual games.

This is great and would have saved me a bunch of time back when I joined the beta lol.
But being able to mark a collection as private would have the added benefit of not having to manually private future additions to the collection.

You can mark them private during the purchase process.
