Libraries
Libraries help you to organize your files and folders. A library gathers files from different locations and displays them as a single collection, without moving them from where they are stored. The navigation pane (in the left part of the Windows Explorer window) is the easiest place to access libraries. Click a library to open it and the content of all the folders included in your library will appear.
You can perform the following operations with libraries:
-
To create a new library, right-click
Libraries
and select
New
>
Library
.
-
To add a folder to a library, right-click it and select
Include in library
>
<the library name>
. The folder will remain in its original location but it will also be displayed in the library.
-
To see the folders included in a library, double-click the library name in the navigation pane to expand it. The folders will be listed below the library.
-
To remove a folder from a library, right-click it and select
Remove location from library
. This operation removes the folder from the library only. It doesn't delete the folder from its original location.
