Hi, I need to export and catalog in Lightroom to Bridge. Is it possible to keep all my collections?

No, Bridge is just like Windows Explorer and can view folders and their contents. You can save metadata in LR using Metadata > Save Metadata to Files, and Bridge will read this information. But it's standard stuff like titles, ratings, captions, keywords, and not the Lightroom data organisation like collections.

Bridge has collections and smart collections too, but you can export these from Lightroom to Bridge.

"but you can export these from" - typo

Yep, of course I mean you can not export them from Lightroom to Bridge.

I have a related question. Why would anyone using Lightroom Classic want to use Bridge as a front end to ACR/Photoshop when Lightroom achieves the same purpose?
