Library
Library Tool handles save/search/load OPs across different project. It is possible to save/load both components and set of OPs, it's connections and parameter expressions (aka templates). It also optionally collects and store to library external assets (for example moiviefileinTOP's movie file) then copy and relinks them while loading from library. To search by multiple parts of the name - separete parts by spaces. For example searching for 'noiseWithSpeedOne' could be done by typing: 'no sp' or 'noise sp' or 'n sp on' e.t.c as well as with 'noisewiths'.

To change library location use Settings:
- Settings -> library -> select new location

MULTIPLE MACHINES:
In case using multiple machines - it is good idea to relocate the library to shared or cloud folder. In our experience Dropbox works good for that, simply set 'Available Offline' for the folder via Dropbox settings. In that case, the library will be accessible and synchronized across all computers, significantly simplifying components and templates reusage across all machines.
