The library provides a number of ways to sort, filter and view your content.

The library landing page shows a list of all the content in your team’s library.

View Options

By default, the content will be shown in a table format. This can be changed to a grid with larger thumbnails by clicking on the icon in the top left of the menu bar:

In table format, clicking on a row will take you the family detail page. For more information on the information available within each family, see Family Details. Clicking on a checkbox next to a family row will select that family (see “Selecting and managing” below).

In grid format, clicking on a family thumbnail will take you to the family detail page. Clicking anywhere else on a family’s grid tile will select that family (see “Selecting and managing” below).

To sort based on any of the columns, click on the column header. The column being used to sort will show a small arrow pointing up or down to indicate ascending or descending sort order. To change the sort order, click on the column header again.
