How to use organization library

1. What is an organization library

An organization library is a place to store and share your techpack cards with your entire organization. Each card in the library is further saved with its associated images, annotations comments, and keywords. This way you and other members in your organization can simply copy these cards to any new or existing techpacks and save a tone of time. 

2. What is the difference between personal & organization library?

There are two types of libraries on Techpacker:

The personal library is where each user can store cards for their personal use only.

The organization library is a common library shared among all the members of your organization who are part of the organization. Everyone can access it, add, edit or copy cards located there.
