Merlin’s library is a very practical feature. You can place there project structures, elements or documents often used in your projects and find contacts of your AddressBook, Entourage or an LDAP server to use as resources in new projects.
To place new objects into your library you can use drag & drop. An even quicker way is to right (or ctrl) click your selection and call “Copy to Library”
Easy, isn’t it?
