Libraries are a core element of your community experience. Through your community Library, you can share a variety of file types (including multimedia) that other users can comment on and recommend.

Files attached to discussion posts are automatically added to the Library and are then available for download by other users; further, multimedia entries can be viewed right on the page and even embedded on other web pages.

Access Library Entries

Library Entries can be accessed several ways. The Entries that you'll see are dependent on:

• community-specific "view" settings
• your permissions and memberships

Community Library

If you navigate to an individual community and click the Library tab, you'll see only that community's Entries.

Featured Card Row

In the upper part of the page, Library Entries display as cards in a "carousel." Click the left and right arrows to scroll through the Entries. 

On each card, you can:

• See who posted the content and when,
• Click the poster's name to visit their Profile page,
• See the number of views and downloads,
• See that an Entry has been pinned, and
• Click the ellipsis (...) menu to take an action 

Customize the Library Entries list

The list of Library Entries can be customized by choosing a view, sort order, and/or filter. Use any or all of these options to customize which Entries display and how.

TIP: Use the sort and filtering options in conjunction with one another to refine large lists.

Details Panel

When you click a Library Entry, in any of the views, a panel opens to display that Entry's details.

In the Details Panel, you can:

• Recommend the Entry
• View and download files
• Add a comment
• Add a link to community content that is related to this topic

TIP: if you would like to delete a library entry, you can 'mark as inappropriate' and provide a rationale for deletion.
