Libraries

Use the Libraries page to view and work with the libraries to which you have access. To upload documents to a specific library or folder, navigate to the library and folder and then upload the document. Doing so applies the correct metadata to a document and organizes it in Oracle WebCenter Content so that you and others can find it.

The Libraries page has the same areas as on the Searching Documentpage. Following are the differences for the Libraries page.

Actions Area

Actions available for System Libraries are Get Link, Create Shortcut, and Delete. Additional actions for Enterprise Libraries are Follow and Propagate Metadata. You can also open the Library Properties window for both types of Library.

Use caution when deleting libraries or folders. When you delete a library or folder, all items within the library or folder are also deleted, including subfolders. All documents are expired in the repository.
