Catalog copies in Library
Find and manage independent Library copies, and understand how they differ from Learn enrollment.
A Catalog release can become an independent item or folder in your Library. It uses the published snapshot you choose, even if the publisher has since edited the original source.
Add and find a copy
- Open Catalog and find the submission.
- Choose Add to Library.
- Select an available Version and writable Destination.
- Select Add and wait for the success message.
- Open the named destination in Library. Switch workspace if you explicitly chose a folder outside the current one.
See Add Catalog content for destination defaults, permissions, and storage requirements. The success message identifies the destination; Catalog does not automatically open the copied item.
Organize or edit the result
Use the copy's normal Library controls to open, edit, move, copy, or delete it, as your folder permissions allow. Your changes do not edit the publisher's original or anyone else's copy.
Catalog does not automatically synchronize later releases into your copy. Adding a later version creates separate content. Compare it with your existing work before deciding what to keep; the add action does not merge local edits.
Publisher discontinuation prevents new additions but leaves existing Library copies usable under their normal permissions. A missing Catalog listing does not by itself mean your Library copy was deleted.
Library and Learn are separate
A Course or Reference added to Library does not enroll you in Learn. To use learning content, open its Catalog listing and select Add Course or Add Reference. That adds the current approved version to your personal Learn collection, without asking for a Library destination.
Open in Learn resumes the existing Learn item. Update replaces its learning version and resets progress; it does not update your Library copy. Read Add and update Learn content before replacing a version.
Why Catalog and Library show different results
Personal My Content records accessible listings you have added before, including Learn additions. It can still show a listing after you move or delete its Library copy. Organization My Content follows publication and audience relationships. Neither view is a folder inventory.
If an add failed or its outcome is unclear, check the destination before retrying to avoid another copy. See Catalog troubleshooting.
