How to find your way around the three library types: Official · Organization · Personal
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”Understand the difference between the three library types, so you know where to look and what you’re allowed to edit yourself.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”None. Every user can see official, published libraries.
- Click Library in the top menu.
- See the Type badge on each library: Official (blue), Organization (green) or Personal (purple).
- Use the filter to narrow down to the type you’re looking for.
Who can see and edit what
Section titled “Who can see and edit what”| Type | Can see | Can edit |
|---|---|---|
| Official | Everyone, once published | Maintained centrally |
| Organization | All members of the owning organization | Organization owners only |
| Personal | Only the creator | Only the creator |
Draft hides the library completely from everyone. If you “can’t find” an official library, it’s most likely unpublished, not an error on your part.
The library is missing when you want to insert from it in a project
Section titled “The library is missing when you want to insert from it in a project”The insert-from-library picker in a project only shows libraries that are:
- published (not a draft), and
- linked to the project’s calculation mode. A library states in its settings which calculation modes it is compatible with. If none of them match the project’s chosen calculation mode, the library is left out of the picker, even if you otherwise have access to it.
If you can see the library in the Library overview but not in a project, check the calculation mode: open the library’s settings and tick the calculation mode the project uses.
Result
Section titled “Result”You now know which library type is relevant to your task, and who to contact to get edit rights.
