What is a COLLECTION file?

COLLECTION files mostly belong to GoodNotes 5. COLLECTION files are app-specific containers that bundle groups of related resources. Their internal format varies by application use:

OneDrive image collections use JSON to manage image metadata. (OneDrive)

Praat audio collections bundle sound files for audio analysis. (Praat)

Office Lens files list OneNote items in JSON format. (Office Lens)

FilExt.com note: Open these files with the software that created them or use tools suited to ZIP, plist, or JSON formats to view their contents.
