# Library

The Library is your go-to place to manage training materials, SOPs, manuals, videos, and reference documents. It allows users to create folders, upload files, apply filters, and organize content efficiently for seamless access and sharing.

## Create a New Folder

Organize your library by grouping content into folders.

1. Click the **“Create +”** button beside *Folders*

2. A pop-up appears prompting you to:

- **Select Tag** (e.g., safety, maintenance, quality)

3. Click **Save** to create your folder

## Upload Files

Once you are inside a folder, you can upload the relevant content.

2. Click **“File Upload”** on the top-right

## Filter Content

As your library expands, filtering allows you to quickly locate specific files based on multiple criteria like file owner, type, tags, or upload date.

To apply filters:

- Click the **filter icon** at the top right of the Library module.
- In the **Apply Filter** popup, use the following fields:

| **Field** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **By Owner** | Select the user who uploaded or owns the file |
| **File Type** | Choose from supported file types (e.g., Image, Video, PDF, Excel, Document) |
| **Tags** | Filter files associated with specific tags (e.g., SOP, Safety, Maintenance) |
| **Start Date** | Set the starting date to filter files uploaded after a certain point |
| **End Date** | Set the end date to include files uploaded up to a certain point |

- Click **Save** to apply the selected filters.
- Click **Cancel** to exit without applying changes.

## **Search Content**

Use the **Search bar** above the folder list to:

- Find files by name or tag
- Search across all folders, not just the one currently open

## **Delete Files**

Permanently remove files from the system. This action should be used with caution, as deleted files may not be recoverable depending on system settings.

## Manage Access

Control who can view, edit, or manage each file by assigning specific permissions to users or groups. This ensures the right level of access for different team members.

## Edit File

Update the file name and assign or modify required tags to help categorize and organize the file.

## View File

Open and preview files directly within the application without needing to download them.

## Download File

Save a copy of the file to your local device. This is useful when offline access is required or for sharing files outside the platform.

## Folder Actions

You can **create, edit, delete, move, duplicate, archive, and pin folders** for better organization. Additionally, **manage access, view folder details, and sort contents** as needed.

- **Delete Folder:** Remove folders that are no longer needed. Deleting a folder may also remove its contents.
