Content Library

The Content Library is a shared repository of reusable content items that can be placed across multiple scenes. It provides a centralised way to manage content that appears in more than one place.

Library vs Scene-Scoped Content

Adding Content to the Library

From the Library page

1. Navigate to Content Library in the sidebar
2. Click New Content
3. Choose the content type (component, media, or element group)
4. Configure the content
5. Save — it is now available for placement in any scene

Publish from a scene

1. In the Designer, select an element or group
2. Right-click and select Publish to Library
3. Give the library item a name
4. The content is now in the library and linked to this scene

Using Library Content in Scenes

1. Open a scene in the Designer
2. Click Add from Library in the toolbar or zone content panel
3. Browse or search the library
4. Click to place the content

The placed content is linked — updates to the library item propagate to all scenes using it.

Usage Tracking

Each library item shows where it is currently used:

• Number of scenes
• List of scene names with links
• Last modified date

This helps you understand the impact before editing a widely-used item.

Bulk Management

Select multiple library items to:

• Delete — Removes the item (scenes using it retain a copy but lose the link)
• Move — Organise into folders
• Export — Download as a package for import into another Inspire instance
• Update theme — Re-apply a theme to all selected components
