Libraries

Libraries organize your project's assets into groups. They appear in the sidebar under LIBRARIES, and MANAGE ▸ Libraries shows them as a card grid with an asset count on each. Clicking a card opens the library's files; the gear on a card opens its detail page.

Use New Library. Each library captures:

• Name — the display name shown in the sidebar and throughout the app
• Description — optional
• External folder path — optional; point the library at a folder outside the project to browse it in place
• S3 location — optional; browse a bucket in place (read-only)

A library has one root: a folder path or an S3 location, not both.

Each library has its own page. The header shows where its files live, how many assets it holds, and how many groups can see it, with Opento jump to its files and a back arrow to the list. Below are tabs:

• Details — rename the library, edit its description, or change its external folder / S3 root. Renaming keeps the library's code and its assets.
• Access — which groups can see this library. Switch a group on to share the library with it; groups that hold View All Assets already see everything and are marked as such. The same grants appear on the group's page under its Libraries tab.
• Notes — discussion attached to the library itself

Delete (trash icon in the header) removes the library. If it still holds assets you are warned first; the assets themselves are not deleted.

• Characters — character models, rigs, and references
• Environments — scenes, backgrounds, and environment assets
• Props — objects used in scenes
• Shots — shot-based work organized by sequence
• Editorial — cuts assembled from shots
