🆕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.

Searching for Files

Use the Search in Libraries field at the top to quickly find files, documents, videos, or links.

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).
