# Library

> One place to browse and create every document, whiteboard, spreadsheet, and presentation.

## Overview

The **Library** is a single, Drive-style home for the standalone content you author in Custral: **documents, whiteboards, spreadsheets, and presentations**. Instead of hunting through the sidebar tree for that deck you made last week, the Library gathers all of them in one place, grouped by type, with a **New** button that spins up any of the four.

It's a browse-and-launch surface: it doesn't add a new kind of content, it just collects the ones you already have and opens them in the same editors you use everywhere else.

## How it works

The Library lists every **standalone page** whose type is `document`, `whiteboard`, `spreadsheet`, or `presentation`. The same pages you create from the sidebar's **+ → Other** menu. Both shared (workspace) pages and your own private pages appear, each grouped under its type with a count.

* **Where it lives**: the **Library** card in the Home panel's **Modules** rail, or directly at `/documents`.
* **Opening an item**: a card opens the page's editor at its usual `/p/<id>` route; nothing about the editing experience changes.
* **Creating**: the **New** menu creates a real page of the chosen type (in your first workspace section, or as a private page if the workspace has none) and drops you straight into it.

<Note>
  The Library lists standalone **pages**. A whiteboard or spreadsheet that's embedded as a **block on a record** lives on that record, not in the Library. Open it from the record instead.
</Note>

## Using it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Library">
    Click **Library** in the Modules rail (Home panel), or go to `/documents`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find what you need">
    Filter by type with the chips at the top (All / Documents / Whiteboards / Spreadsheets / Presentations), search by name, or switch the sort between **Recently edited** and **Name**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create something new">
    Click **New**, pick a type, name it, and you'll land in the editor. It also appears in the sidebar tree, since it's an ordinary page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom                                    | Likely cause                                                            | What to check                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A document you expect isn't listed         | It's an **embedded block** on a record, not a standalone page           | Open it from the record; the Library lists standalone pages only |
| The Library is empty                       | The workspace hasn't loaded its pages yet, or none of these types exist | Confirm the sidebar tree has loaded; create one from **New**     |
| A private page isn't showing               | Private pages load with your sidebar's Private section                  | Open the sidebar so private pages load, then revisit             |
| A new page landed in an unexpected section | New items default to your **first** workspace section                   | Move it in the sidebar, or create it from the section you want   |
| Card shows "Untitled"                      | The page has no name                                                    | Rename it from the card's page or the sidebar                    |
