To view all of your site's community and stand-alone libraries:
NOTE: Libraries associated to a discussion inherit their moderation setting and view permission from that discussion. If you want to change these settings for a community library, you must edit its associated discussion. See Discussion List to learn how.
For stand-alone libraries, you can modify these settings directly on this page.
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.
- Navigate to Community > Libraries.

- In the expanded Preview Panel:
- Click its title at the top to edit.
- Update the description in the Library Description field.
