Studio Editor: Creating and Managing Design Libraries

What's the difference between private and public libraries?
When creating a new library, you can choose whether to make it private or public:
Public: Teammates can access and reuse the library's assets, on any site in the workspace.
Private: Only you can access and use the assets in your library.
Can teammates edit or share my library?
If your library is private, they can't access it at all. However, if you turn on sharing and make the library public, it depends on the teammate's role.
The entire team can view public design libraries, reuse the assets and duplicate them if needed.
However, only teammates with the Manage Library permission can edit libraries and share them with others.
What happens if I delete a library I previously shared?
Deleting a public design library removes it for the entire team, including the team owner.
However, if you already applied assets from this library, they stay on the relevant Studio Editor site(s). For example, if you imported colors from a library that was deleted, the site's color styles stay exactly the same.
