Content libraries

A content library is a storage that enables the Qlik Sense users to add shared contents to their apps.

The user who creates the content library automatically becomes the owner of that library. The library and the library objects can be shared with others through security rules defined in the QMC.

The Content library overview lists all the content libraries in the Qlik Sense site. You can manage your content libraries by performing a number of actions, as described in the following:

Name	The name of the content library.
Owner	The owner of the content library.
Tags	The QMC tags that are connected to the content library.
SR	Sorting columns: Click to sort the list alphabetically, ascending or descending according to the nature of the column.
.	Filtering columns: Click to open a dialog and filter the list based on that column and your filter criteria as you type. Click E to remove the filter. Click outside of the filter dialog (or press the keyboard key "Esc") to close the dialog. The filter icon is inverted when a filter is applied to a column . You can apply filters to multiple columns to narrow your search.
Edit	Editing content libraries: Click to edit the selected content libraries. The number next to Edit indicates the number of items in your selection that you are allowed to edit.If you don't have update rights for the selected items, Edit is replaced by View.
View	Viewing content libraries: Click to view the selected content libraries. If you don't have update rights for the selected items View replaces Edit.
Delete	Deleting content libraries: Click to delete the selected content libraries. The number next to Delete indicates the number of items in your selection that you are allowed to delete.If you don't have delete rights for selected items Delete is disabled.
Upload	Uploading to content libraries: Click to upload library objects to the selected content library.
PCreate new	Creating new content libraries: Click to create a new content library.
Show more items	Show more items: The overview shows a set number of items by default. To show more items, scroll to the end of the list and click Show more items. Sorting and filtering of items is always done on the full database list of items, not only the items that are on display.

Double-click an item in the overview to open the resource's edit page. For multiple selections, hold down Ctrl while single-clicking the items or hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse cursor over items. Then click Edit in the action bar to open the edit page.
