General Description
Library is a virtual storage for user files in the IT-Screen system. It is designed for uploading, storing, and managing various types of content: images, videos, audio, documents, HTML code, and other elements.
When you first enter the Library, the element list will be empty. For more on uploading elements, see the section

- Element list — access to uploaded and created content.
