Adding Configurations to the Library
You
can
add
a
workspace
configuration
to
the
Library
by
capturing
it
or
archiving
it.
Capturing
a
workspace
configuration
makes
it
available
as
a
base
configuration
that
other
users
can
copy
and
customize.
Archiving
a
configuration
preserves
it
for
future
reference.
For
example,
an
audit
might
require
that
you
show
the
exact
state
of
your
software
from
years
ago.
Capture a Workspace Configuration to the Library
You
can
save
a
workspace
configuration
to
the
Library
to
make
a
copy
available
to
other
users.
You
should
save
common
base
configurations
to
the
library
so
that
other
Lab Manager
users
can
work
with
or
modify
copies
of
those
configurations.
When
you
capture
a
configuration
to
the
Library,
it
becomes
private,
regardless
of
the
sharing
properties
it
had
in
the
workspace.
You can
modify
a
library
configuration
at
any
time
to
share
it
with
members
of
other
organizations
and
workspaces.

Archive a Workspace Configuration to the Library
You
can
preserve
the
exact
state
of
a
configuration
in
the
configuration
library.
Archived
configurations
are
read
‐
only,
but
you
can
clone,
export,
and
delete
them.
When
you
archive
a
configuration
to
the
Library,
it
retains
the
sharing
properties
it
had
in
the
workspace.
For example,
if
you
archive
a
private
workspace
configuration,
the
library
configuration
is
also
private.
You can
modify
a
library
configuration
at
any
time
to
share
it
with
members
of
other
organizations
and
workspaces.
