What is a Content/Media Library?
The content library is a collection of all videos, podcasts (audio), PDFs and articles that you or your team has uploaded onto your community. Only supporters will receive access to this section. This will give supporters an easier way to find and consume all media in one place instead of digging through your posts to find them. You can also create playlists to organize the videos/podcasts/PDFs/articles in your content section.
You can find the Content Library on the left menu
For non-supporters, they will not be able to see any content in the Content Library.
The library is only for content that you or your team has uploaded. However, it is also possible to remove (or add something back into the library once removed) videos, podcasts, PDFs or articles that you do not want to be a part of your library.
The first way is when you are in the process of posting something with video, audio, PDF or article. In the publication settings, there is an option called "Add to content". By default this is ON whenever you attach a video, audio, PDF or article which means once you submit the post, it will be added into your Content Library. If you toggle it OFF before you submit the post, then it will not be added into the Content Library. (This toggle is not available if you are not uploading a video, podcast PDF or article)
The second way is after you've posted your video, audio, PDF or article, you can control what goes into your library through the post settings. If a post contains a video, audio, PDF or article that you or your team uploaded, there is an additional setting called Content. If the post was originally submitted with "Add to content library" ON, it will be shown as selected and vice versa. Clicking on it will do the reverse action, i.e. if the setting was deselected, clicking on it will add it to the library.
The last way is to control what is in your library is in the Content Library. You can remove anything you don't want by clicking on the settings per video, audio, PDF or article and selecting the Remove option.
Please note that "Removing" the content from the library will not delete the content completely. It is simply to remove it from the library. In order to remove the content completely, you must delete the original post that houses the content.
