The Libraries folder contains all necessary libraries to model the execution part of the service. It is not possible to create a single Libraries folder, but if you create a new project, it automatically contains a Libraries folder.

The Libraries Context Menu

Right click a Libraries folder to open its context menu.

The context menu displays all options available for a this folder:

Share
Publish to Cockpit

The Libraries folder is a mandatory part of a service, therefore the options on this folder are limited.

Sharing a Libraries Folder

You can share the link for a Libraries folder.

Choose the option Share from the context menu to copy the link to the clipboard.

The action is confirmed by a toast message.

You are now able to paste the URL, for example to an email.

Publishing a Libraries Folder to the Cockpit

	If you want direct access to a Libraries folder in your Cockpit, open the context menu and choose option Publish to Cockpit.
	The action is confirmed by a toast message.
	If you open your cockpit the next time, an external link tile grants you direct access to your folder. For further information about the Cockpit, tiles and groups refer to the BPaaS Guide.

If you click on a Libraries folder in the tree, its settings are displayed in the settings window on the right side:

List of Libraries

The list of libraries shows the libraries you are already using within this service. In the editors, the listed libraries are available in the Service Panel during modeling.

You have two buttons to administrate your libraries:

Manage Libraries
Library Administration

If you click the Manage Libraries button, you can add more libraries to the current service. See Adding Libraries for details.

Use the Library Administration button to open the Designer Administration where you can import new libraries to your namespaces.

Adding Libraries

	If you want to use libraries during modeling, you have to make them available in your service. To do so, click the Manage Libraries button.
	The dialog Manage Libraries opens. All libraries that have been uploaded to the current namespace are shown in this dialog: Currently unused libraries are displayed on the left side of the window. The libraries that are already used in this service are shown on the right side. Expand the drop-down lists to display the details of each library such as versions and dependencies.
	To add an unused library to the project, click Add library .
	The library is now displayed in the column Used Libraries. If you have finished, click Save to persist your changes.
	Now open a model in the current service. The added library is now displayed in the Service Panel and you can use it during modeling.

Deleting Libraries

MultiExcerpt named remove_libraries was not found -- Please check the page name and MultiExcerpt name used in the MultiExcerpt-Include macro

Display Library Documentation

	Use option Documentation to display the documentation of a library. You can find it in the Manage Libraries dialog...
	If documentation is available, it will be opened in a new browser tab. This allows developers to access library documentation at any time during the development process.
