What are libraries?

In Totara Engage you can view resources, surveys, and playlists in your library, which you can access via Learn > Your Library from the top navigation bar, or via the user profile (in the Contributions block). The default view in the library is Your resources. You can also view other users' libraries, or view a workspace's library.

You can navigate between the different sections of the library using the side panel. The search bar allows you to look for items based on keywords, or search for a specific resource or playlist if you know its name.

Your resources

This page shows all of the resources that the logged-in user has created.

You can create a new resource by clicking the plus icon () next to Your resources.

Filters and sorting

You can filter and sort your resources in a number of ways to narrow down the resources shown. This can be useful if you have created a large number of resources.

• Visibility: Show items based on who is able to see them. You can show items with All visibility settings, items Everyone can see, items Only you can see, or items Limited people can see
• Type: Choose whether items for All types are shown, or only show Resources or Surveys
• Tag: Choose whether items for All tags are shown, or only items for a specific tag
• Sort by: Sort the resources by the date they were created (Created), how many likes they have received (Popular), or alphabetical order (A-Z)

Shared with you
