How do I add content to My Library? How do I filter, search, and share My Library content?

The Curator Library provides a centralized repository for all your content files, course materials, and digital learning assets.

The Curator Library is composed of two main sections My Library and the Organization Library. Each individual user can build and access their own personal Library under the My Library Tab. Additionally, the Organization Library can be accessed by everyone in the Organization for sharing content and general collaboration. 

Once saved to the Curator Library, content files, Learning Cards, and entire courses can be reused, shared, topic tagged, tracked, edited, and updated by individual content creators and entire organizations.

In this article, we'll cover how to add content to the individual user's "My Library" in a variety of ways, how to search for files you've previously uploaded, and how to share content with other users in your organization.

• Adding content files directly to My Library
• Saving an entire course to the Library from the Create timeline
• Saving individual Learning Cards to the Library from the Create timeline
• Searching My Library
• Sharing My Library content with other Users directly
• Adding content from My Library to the Organization Library
