Get to know how to work with Team libraries in the Creative Cloud.

Note:

Creative Cloud Libraries for business are available to you only if your organization uses Adobe storage for business, which is being rolled out globally in a phased manner.

Working with Team libraries

Team libraries allow you to easily and quickly share collections of elements with your team or collaborators. Team libraries are only available for Creative Cloud for teams and Creative Cloud for enterprise.

When you create a Team library or move a personal library to the team, it is automatically shared with team members. Set access levels for your collaborators and team members.

Edit access to use and edit elements. Make organizational changes such as renaming or custom groups.
View and use access to use elements.

Manage your Team libraries from the Creative Cloud desktop application, the Libraries panel in Adobe applications, or on the Creative Cloud website. You can find your Team libraries by looking for the team icon next to them.
