Creative Cloud Libraries offer a powerful way to organize and access your frequently used design assets across various Adobe applications. But what if you want to collaborate with colleagues or share your library for wider use? Thankfully, sharing libraries directly from your desktop app is a breeze.

This article will guide you through the process of sharing Creative Cloud libraries from your desktop app, allowing you to collaborate seamlessly and boost your creative efficiency.

Sharing with Specific Collaborators

1. Accessing the Sharing Options:

  • Navigate to the "Files" tab and select "Your Libraries" in the left sidebar.
  • Click the ellipsis (...) icon next to the library you want to share.

2. Inviting Collaborators:

  • Choose "Invite people..." from the menu.
  • Enter the email addresses of your collaborators, separated by commas.
  • Select the desired permission level: "Can edit" allows collaborators to modify and add assets, while "Can view" provides read-only access.
  • Optionally, add a personalized message in the message box.
  • Click "Invite" to send the invitations.

3. Managing Collaborator Permissions:

  • Once collaborators are invited, you can manage their permissions by clicking the ellipsis (...) icon again and selecting "Manage collaborators."
