Based on your feedback from the recent Steam Workshop changes outlined here, we've added some additional features around Workshop subscriptions: you can now easily create, save, and load different subscription lists using Workshop Collections. This will make it easier to create "presets" or "mod lists" that you can swap between for whatever reason.
In the Steam Client (beta), you can access your Workshop Collections on your game's Properties > Workshop page under Advanced Options. From here you can quickly save your subscriptions list to a collection, or update your subscriptions list from a collection. The load order for your items will match the order of subscriptions within the collection.
We've also made it easier to share the mods you are using with your friends - Workshop Collections can now be shared via a link from within the Steam Client. (note that you'll need to save your subscriptions to a collection before you can send a link to a friend).
On the Steam Community, the "Save to Collection" button is accessible on your subscriptions page for a game. On a collection's web page, the "Subscribe to all" button will now give you a choice of adding to or overwriting your current subscription list. There’s also an option to save a collection’s contents to another collection.
There have also been some small updates to the Collection editor itself to make managing items a bit easier.
