# Library

## Hair Tube Builder Library

You can now **store your hair tubes in a library** and easily share them across different scenes.\
You have the flexibility to save an **entire hairstyle**, specific **sections**, or even a **single strand**.

#### Creating a Category and Saving a Library Item:

1. Click on **‘New Category’** to create a folder for your library items.
2. Select the hair strands you want to save.
3. Isolate selected hairs (by clicking on the Isolate Button). This is optional, but will frame your strands better in the preview .png screenshot.&#x20;
4. Give your selection a name and click **‘Save’**.

#### Importing:

* Choose an item from the library and click the **‘Import’** button.
* The strands will be automatically loaded into the **Hair Tube Builder UI**.

Imported strands will include a **prefix** to avoid overwriting existing elements. You can **rename the layers** or **move the strands** to another layer as needed.
