Libraries are the primary tool for making content available to your members. Libraries are designed to be used as Collection trees where the same permissions are assigned to the entire tree. This creates a logical and easy-to-navigate structure for your content.
Libraries are created by the account managers to give members a way to browse and discover the content in the account.
- Library Managers have the ability to modify all the settings of collections.
- You can easily build out a collection hierarchy as the account grows.
- Use consistent permissions in collection trees to make them behave predictably.
The Libraries panel has two types of containers, Organizers and Collections.
Library Organizers
Library Organizers are meant to group collections together to further categorize top-level view. Library Organizers do not contain assets, they contain Collections and Collections contain assets. Library Organizers are designed to be used as Collection trees where the same permissions are assigned to the entire tree. This creates a logical and easy-to-navigate structure for your content.
Collections
Collections contain assets and other sub-Collections. Create as many Collections as you need within a Library to keep your assets organized.
Refresh Button
This will ONLY refresh the Libraries panel. This is sometimes needed to force an update after a bulk action or after rearranging Collections.
