# Add existing resources and playlists to a workspace library

When curating a [workspace](/19/docs/what-are-workspaces) library, you can create a number of [resources, playlists and surveys](/19/docs/totara-engage-content-types) specific to that workspace. However, you can also add existing resources and playlists instead of recreating them for each workspace.

To add an existing resource or playlist to a workspace library, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the workspace and select the **Library** tab.
2. Click the plus icon (![workspace_library_plus](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/workspace_library_plus.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T17%3A02%3A52Z&se=2026-11-01T18%3A02%3A52Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FVxK97RXccx5b4Eivvp%2B7F6sIBn1%2BHh1oiGjP%2F728S8%3D)) in the **Library** tab.
3. Click **resources**.
4. Set the **Tag** and **Section** filters to find the resources and playlists you wish to add to the library. Check the boxes for all items you want to add.
5. Click **Add**.
