Using the Libraries panel to add elements to your open documents
Access the elements that have been saved in libraries by simply opening the Libraries panel, Window⇒ Libraries. In this example, we used the Photoshop app.
If you have not created a library, go back to the previous section and create a small library to use for this exercise. Then, follow these steps:
1 Open an Adobe app. In this example, open Photoshop.
2 Select Window ⇒ Libraries to open the Libraries panel.
3 Click on View by Type to see categories of elements saved in your library, as shown in Figure 3-7.Note: You can organize your library elements by using groups. Simply click the Create New Group folder icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel and then name your group. Drag and drop elements into this group to help you find items in your library:To use an image: Click the image and drag it out to your page, and then click once on your page to release the image and place it. After it is placed, note that the image displays a little cloud icon in the upper-left corner, indicating that it is from the cloud.To use a color: Keep in mind that you need to have saved a color to the library to apply it. Select an object to which you want to apply a saved library color, then open a saved library and choose a color.To apply a text style: Select the text in your document to which you wish to apply a saved library style. Find your library in the Libraries panel and click on the saved library style.

Show Cloud Documents
When you select Show Cloud Documents, you see three options: Cloud Documents, Shared with You, and Deleted. Click on Cloud Documents to see the contents of the Creative Cloud files folder that exists on your computer. (See Figure 3-8.) The items in the Creative Cloud files folder on your computer are synced with the items in the cloud. You can use this available space in many ways: for storage of virtually any files, documents, images, branding elements and more.
FIGURE 3-8: Click on Show Cloud Documents in order to see and manage the documents you saved to the Creative Cloud.
If you are looking for extra space to store or to easily share your files, look no further than your Creative Cloud files folder. Follow these steps in order to store files in the Creative Cloud:
1 Open your Creative Cloud app.
2 Click the Cloud Activity icon (the cloud) in the upper-right of the Creative Cloud app and then click the gear icon.The Sync settings appear here, as well as the location of the Creative Cloud files folder, as shown in Figure 3-9.FIGURE 3-9: Your Sync settings and the location of your Creative Cloud folder.
3 Open your Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer.
4 When the folder appears, drag and drop any files you want to save into the Creative Cloud Files folder. Of course, you can copy and paste files as well.This folder acts like any other folder on your computer. You can open your files, edit them, save them back to the same folder or another, and delete them. The main difference with the contents in this folder is that you can also access the files via the web.
5 To access your files via the web, launch the Creative Cloud application, click Your Work, and then select Show Cloud Documents.Keep in mind that you can also manage your cloud documents right in the Creative Cloud app. Right-click on any document shown in the cloud documents to select functions such as Share, Delete, and more. See Figure 3-10.
Not only can you access your own files anywhere by signing into the Creative Cloud on any computer, but you can also share them with others. You can do this directly in the Creative Cloud Files folder or on the web. The following directions tell you how.
To share from the Creative Cloud Files folder:
1 Click Your Work and then click Show Cloud Documents if they are not already visible.
2 Right-click on a file that you wish to share to see the contextual menu. (Ctrl-click if you do not have a right-clicking mouse.)FIGURE 3-10: You can manage your cloud files in the Creative Cloud app.
3 Choose the Creative Cloud menu item and Send Link from the submenu. On the Mac, choose Share Link from the contextual menu.
4 If you have not previously shared the selected file, you first need to make it a public link. When the dialog box appears indicating that your link is private, click the Create Public Link button.
5 Copy and paste the provided link into your correspondence with the people to whom you want to give access to your file or project.
To share from the Creative Cloud app:
1 Go to Your Work and select Show Cloud Documents.
2 Right-click (Ctrl-click if you do not have a right-clicking mouse) on a file’s thumbnail.
3 Select Invite to Edit.
4 When the Share dialog box appears, enter the email of the person you wish to share the document with and any additional information in the Message text field, as shown in Figure 3-11.
Keep in mind that you can also share directly from the application you are working in. You will find out how to do this later, when discussing the individual applications.
