The basics

A SharePoint library is a repository for uploaded or created files. Similar to Lists, Libraries are configured to filter, sort, or group files together for visualization and editing.

Libraries are based on Library Templates, such as document, form, and picture. You can create multiple libraries based on a single library template.

The following library features are outside the functionality scope of this book and are provided only to enhance your knowledge and awareness of SharePoint's functionalities. These include Edit Library, Customize Form, and Form settings.
