## Why use it

Most firms specify the same pieces again and again: a favourite sconce, a go-to
performance fabric, a standard vanity. The Library keeps those with their photos,
vendor and cost, so you add them in seconds instead of looking them up every time.

## When to use it

- **Repeat specifications.** Products you use across projects.
- **Quick comparisons.** Put a Library staple next to a new find as two options in one section.
- **Consistent pricing.** Start from the cost you recorded last time.

To pull in a product from another room of this project instead, use the room or **Other spaces** tab in the same dialog. See [Add options to a section](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-options-to-a-section).

## Before you start

- Products saved in your Library. See [Add to the Library](https://docs.moodiri.com/library/add-to-the-library).
- A product section in the room. See [Add a product section](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-a-product-section).

## Steps

![Select from existing view of the Add option to Counter stools dialog, with Kitchen, Other spaces and Library tabs and three Kitchen products to pick from.](https://docs.moodiri.com/shots/products--add-a-product-from-the-library--page-1600.webp)
Same screen with numbered callouts: https://docs.moodiri.com/shots/products--add-a-product-from-the-library--page-annotated.webp
Callout 1: Library tab
1. In the **Counter stools** section, choose an empty **Add option** card.
2. Choose **Select from existing** to pick a product you already have instead of entering a new one.
3. Choose the **Library** tab to see your firm's saved products from every project.
4. Search by name, brand or vendor, for example *Walnut*, to narrow the list.
5. Choose the product, here **Walnut Arm Chair** at $1,350.00. A copy is added to the room and to this section as an option.

## What happens next

- Moodiri shows a message that the product was added from the library, and the option appears in the section.
- The new product is a project copy. Change its price or quantity on its [product page](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/product-page).

## Troubleshooting

- **Couldn't load library products.** The Library list did not load. Close the dialog and try again.
- **No library products.** Your Library is empty. Save products to it first.

## Questions

### Does changing the project copy change my Library item?

No. Moodiri adds a copy to the project. Edit the copy freely; the Library item stays as it was.

### Can I add a Library product without a section?

Yes, from the Library itself. See [Add a library product to a project](https://docs.moodiri.com/library/add-a-library-product-to-a-project).
