I was having a problem with the guide because I couldn't figure out how to get astro to load my collections, turns out it didnt find my collections because I hadn't restarted astro/ran astro sync

there should be a warning to remind the reader to rerun astro after adding a collection, imho

You're right, this is indeed something we should mention in the guide. In the tutorial we have:

In order for Astro to recognize your schema, quit (CTRL + C) and restart the dev server to continue with the tutorial. This will define the astro:content module.

But I don't see anything similar in the content collections guide.

And perhaps we should also mention the shortcut (related to #11133). Currently, the only place where we mention the use of s + enter is in the Content Layer blog post... Not really visible now. 😄

I think this should also be reported as an Astro bug. Ideally we should be able to detect the new collection properly. Would love to see an Astro issue with reproduction steps! https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/new/choose
