About Library

Library is a multi-user, cloud-based design management application within WilcomWorkspace. It is designed for embroidery businesses that need to store, organize, and manage design files in a central location. Library allows teams to upload designs, manage metadata, search and filter designs, preview and download designs, and open designs in Truesizer for editing.

While EmbroideryStudio's built-in Design Explorer manages designs stored on local drives and networks, Library extends this concept into the cloud — providing centralized access, collaboration, and organization-wide visibility of embroidery design assets.

Centralized design management

Library provides a central location for managing embroidery designs across your organization. With Library, you can:

• Upload and manage embroidery design records
• Attach supporting files such as PDFs, images, and documents
• View design technical properties such as size, colors, and stitch count
• Preview designs at true scale (1:1) within the browser
  

Structured design records

Each uploaded file becomes a structured design record, enriched with metadata such as:

1. Filename
2. Title
3. Customer
4. Status
5. Decoration area
6. Tags
7. Notes

This structured approach ensures designs are organized and easy to find.
