You can create sections, categories, and subcategories of content for your Content Library and control who reads and writes that content via permissions. These permissions can be set per library section and/or category, and are based on jobs and your academy’s organizational structure. When users enter the library they will be able to see and share content based on their permissions.

Categories and Subcategories
Your library has a non-editable category called Shared Content in the General section. This is the category where users can send content if they want to share it with other users of the Academy.
This is a default category that cannot be deleted or edited. The rules about who will have read and write access for this category can be edited from the Content Library (similar to the other categories), or through the Academy Settings by an administrator.
