# Totara Engage content types

In Totara Engage there are several types of content that can be created via the [library](https://portal.document360.io/16/docs/what-are-libraries). These types are detailed below.

## Resources

Resources can be used to share articles, videos, and links with colleagues. Resources can include text, hyperlinks, embedded images and videos, and file attachments.
