The library is a place for organizing and storing your designs. It includes 4 different sections; Local Library, Cloud Library, Purchased, and Downloads. Inside each section, design files can be organized using a traditional folder structure.

== Local Library ==
This is a place for storing designs on your local system. Any designs you had in the Library prior to MatterControl 1.4 will be put here.
== Cloud Library ==
The '''Cloud Library''' is a new option for storing designs that gives you instant access to your design files from anywhere. Designs stored in the Cloud Library are tied to your user account. After signing-in you'll be able to browse and manage any design files that you've previously added and add new files.
Designs within the Cloud Library are synced automatically across any devices you are currently logged into and can also be viewed from the [https://sync.mattercontrol.com/ MatterControl Sync] website.
For more information on the Cloud Library check out [http://www.matterhackers.com/articles/in-depth-mattercontrol-cloud-library In Depth: MatterControl Cloud Library for Designs].
== Purchased ==
Automatically contains any designs you have purchased from the [http://www.matterhackers.com/store/digital-designs MatterHackers Design Store].
== Downloads ==
This gives you direct access to the Downloads folder on your hard drive '''~/Downloads''' on Linux/Mac or '''C:\Users\{user}\Downloads''' on Windows). Any STL or AMF files in that folder will automatically appear here. Any changes you make to these designs in MatterControl will be saved to disk as an AMF file, either replacing the existing AMF or creating a new one of the design was originally an STL.
In the future, we plan to add the ability to track any other directory in your file system as well.
