# Library

> The room's library: sheets, folders and scenes, how to open and organize them, and what each person sees.

Page: https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/biblioteca/

The **Library** keeps what belongs to the room: the characters’ **sheets**, the **scenes** (the maps) and the **folders** that organize everything.

*Screenshot:* The library with the Characters folder (with the sheets Bram and Aria) and the scene Crypt hall. The crossed-out eye marks what is hidden from players.

## Open

- **Double-click** an item to open the sheet or the scene in a tab: next to the other sheets (or scenes), in an empty space, or in the last space you clicked (see [Tabs and spaces](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/#tabs-and-spaces)). On a phone or tablet, **one tap** opens it, and **holding your finger** on the item opens its menu (the right-click one).
- Right-click → **Open in new window** opens it straight in a window of its own (see [Windows and several rooms](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/janelas/)).
- **Search the library** filters the items by name.

The marks next to the name:

- **main**: your main character’s sheet (see [Character sheets](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/fichas/#the-main-character));
- **yours**: another sheet that is yours;
- the crossed-out eye (only the game master sees it): the item is hidden from players.

## Create

The **New item** button, next to the search:

*Screenshot:* The game master's New item menu: New folder, New scene, New sheet… and Install plugin….

- **New sheet…**: players and game masters. See [Character sheets](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/fichas/).
- **New folder** and **New scene**: game masters only.
- **Install plugin…**: game masters only. See [Room plugins and tables](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mestres/plugins/).

Right-clicking a folder offers the same options, to create the item inside it.

## An item’s menu

Right-click the item:

*Screenshot:* The menu of the sheet Aria: open, open in new window, export and import XML, use as main character, change the owner, make visible, rename, move and delete.

- **Open** and **Open in new window**;
- **Export as XML…**: saves the sheet’s data to a file, for example to take the sheet to another room;
- **Import from XML…**: replaces the sheet’s data with an exported file’s (what was in the sheet is replaced);
- **Use as my main character**;
- **Rename** and **Delete**: the sheet’s owner and the game masters;
- game masters only: **Change the sheet owner…**, **Make visible to everyone** or **Make invisible**, and **Move to…** (or drag the item onto a folder).

> **What each person sees**
>
> Folders, sheets and scenes start **hidden** from anyone who is not a game master: the game master releases them whenever they want, with **Make visible to everyone**. A hidden folder hides everything inside it, but releasing the folder does not release what is inside. A sheet’s owner always sees their own sheet.

Only the sheet’s owner and the game masters change a sheet; the others, if they can see it, can only read it. See [Players’ sheets](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mestres/fichas-dos-jogadores/) for the game master’s side.
