To add items or sets to the Library
The Library panel contains predesigned templates for menus and other design elements, such as buttons, images, and
shapes. If you have still images, logos, buttons, and menus that you use frequently, you can store them in the Library,
where you can quickly access them from any project. To keep them organized, you can group them into sets. The
Library imports layered Photoshop files, as well as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF images.
The Library categorizes items you add based on their content. Menus and buttons require special layer name prefixes.
(See "About menus" on page 75.)

Adobe Dynamic Link
About Adobe Dynamic Link (Adobe Production Studio only)
Until now, sharing media assets among post-production applications has required you to render your work in one
application before importing it into another—an inefficient and time-consuming workflow. If you wanted to make
changes in the original application, you had to re-render the asset. Multiple rendered versions of an asset consume
disk space and can lead to file-management challenges.
File must contain
At least one button layer set (layer sets with names that begin with the
(+) prefix) and at least one additional layer that serves as the back-
ground of the menu.
A single layer set with the (+) prefix before its layer name. The layer set
may contain subpicture layers and video thumbnail layers. (No back-
ground layer.)
Image file, or a PSD file not imported as a menu or button.
A single-layer PSD file with a (!) in the name; or a file with a single-
layer-set, with a layer named (!), without the button flag.
Background layer only.
A single layer set without the button layer name prefix. (No back-
ground layer.)
A single text layer. (No background layer.)
A single vector shape layer. (No background layer.)
, navigate to the file you want to add, and click OK.
