A library is a named box holding one kind of thing: pictures, product photos, colours, fonts or vector artwork. One library becomes one set of choices for your customer, so it pays to keep each one about a single decision: Dog breeds, Frame colours, Handwriting fonts.

Create it

On Assets, click Create.
The Create new library dialog with a Name field, a Type dropdown set to Image, and Cancel and Save buttons.

Name it and pick what it holds. Choosing Color adds a mode field below.

Save creates it and takes you straight in, with a banner offering to add another.
Open Assets on the tab you want first. The Create dialog starts on that kind, so creating five image libraries in a row means five clicks less.

Fill it with items, or split it into categories

Inside a library you have two ways to organise, and Customei asks you to pick one.
1

Items straight in

Best for most libraries. Click Add media (or Add font, Add vector, Add mockup, Add color depending on the kind) and the things you upload sit directly in the library.
2

Categories, with items inside each

Best when one box really holds several sets, for instance Pets split into Dogs, Cats and Birds. Click Add category, then open a category and add items inside it.
A library holds one or the other, not both. Once it has items, Add category disappears. Once it has categories, you add items inside a category rather than at the top. An empty library offers you both, so decide before your first upload.

Rename it, or give it a cover

The menu on the Assets list has Settings. Without a cover, the list stacks the first few items as a thumbnail, which is usually enough.

Duplicate it

Duplicate on the row menu copies the library and everything in it. Handy when you want a seasonal variation of a set without touching the original.

Delete it

Delete on the library page, or Move to trash on the row menu. Either way it goes to Trash for 30 days and can be restored.
Check the References count before you delete. If a design template layer points at this library, the choices behind that layer go with it, and every option set fed by that layer loses its pictures.

Where to next

Upload and import
