# Libraries Tools

### Overview

The **Libraries module** in MangoApps is designed to help users quickly and easily access company files, forms, documents, and other resources without needing to search across multiple platforms. Libraries serve as a central hub for curated content—ensuring that essential resources are organized, branded, and easy to navigate.

### Features of the Libraries Module

#### Library Views

Libraries can be displayed in two styles:

* **Classic View**: Libraries and categories are shown in a tree layout on the left panel, with items displayed in either a list or grid on the right.
* **Modern View** (recommended): Libraries appear as cards with banner images, descriptions, icons, and governance status. Within each library, items are grouped visually by category, offering Compact, Large, or Grid layouts. This design emphasizes branding and readability.

Admins can set the default view from the [**Admin Portal > Modules > Libraries > Settings.**](https://guides.mangoapps.com/admin-guide/module-settings/libraries/libraries-settings#library-view)
{% endhint %}

#### Searching for Files

Use the **Search in Libraries** field at the top to quickly find files, documents, videos, or links.&#x20;

Search results include **breadcrumbs**, helping you identify the Library and Category where an item belongs. Clicking a breadcrumb takes you directly to that location.

#### Available Libraries

* In **Classic View**, categories expand in a left-hand tree for quick browsing.

* In **Modern View**, all categories and their content are surfaced on a single detail page for easier scanning. Items are displayed according to the category’s layout setting (Compact, List, or Grid).

Admins can set the **default sort order** for items in each category (Admin-defined, A–Z, Z–A). Users can change the sort order while browsing.

***

#### Accessing Items

Inside each library category is a curated set of items—files, documents, forms, links, images, or videos. To open an item, click its name or thumbnail.

***

#### Using the Three-Dot Menu

Every item and category comes with a **three-dot menu** for additional actions:

* **Copy Link** (for sharing items within the network).

* **Edit or Delete** (if you have manage permissions).
* **Reorder Items**: Use drag-and-drop to rearrange items in a category when Admin order is selected.
* **Manage Governance**: For libraries with governance enabled, access verification tools.

At the **library level**, users with manage permissions can also:

* Edit library settings, categories, and governance.
* Add or remove items.
* Delete an entire library (with confirmation).

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Users cannot upload to, delete, or edit library items** unless they have specific permissions granted by the network administrator.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.mangoapps.com/user-guide/libraries/bookmarks-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
