Sharing Creative Cloud Libraries with Your Team
Creative Cloud Libraries become even more powerful when used collaboratively. Sharing libraries with your team allows everyone to access and utilize the same set of design assets, ensuring brand consistency, streamlining workflows, and boosting overall project efficiency.
Sharing Methods

- Navigate to the "Libraries" tab and select the library you want to share.
- Click the "Collaborate" button in the library options menu.
- Enter the email addresses of the team members you want to share with, separated by commas.
- Choose the desired permission level:
- Can Edit: Allows collaborators to view, edit, add, and delete assets, as well as invite other collaborators.
- Can View: Grants read-only access, allowing collaborators to see and use the library assets but not modify them.
