----

All your user data - tracks, routes, and points - are managed in the **Library**. It can be accessed from:

  * [[manual:user_guide:settings:mainmenu|Main menu]] > My Library\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib01.jpg?nolink |}}
  * for a quicker access you can add {{:manual:user_guide:ic_data_manager_alt.png?nolink&30}} button to the [[manual:user_guide:functions:panel|Function panel]] at the bottom or right side of the screen\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib02.jpg?nolink |}}
===== Main screen =====
{{ :manual:user_guide:mylib03.jpg?nolink |}}
  - the topbar contains a **number of displayed/all items**, **Search** button, and a **tool menu**
  - **breadcrumb navigation**
  - a **list** of folders, tracks, routes and points
  - **add content** button

===== Structure of folders =====
Your data is managed in a structure of **folders** and **sub-folders**. Tracks, routes and points can be mixed. **Three levels** of nested subfolders are available for free. With **[[manual:user_guide:premium|Premium]]**, you can use up to **six levels**. 

==== Folder line ====
Each **folder line**  consists of an **icon**, a folder **name**, a **number of subfolders**, a **number of items** displayed/hidden on the map, and the **eye button**, controlling content visibility on the map.
{{ :manual:user_guide:mylib04.jpg?nolink |}}
  * Tapping it unfolds a **list of subfolders and other content in the folder**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib05.jpg?nolink |}}
  * Long-pressing it **turns the screen into editing mode** and checks the pressed item:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib11.jpg?nolink |}}
==== Eye button ====
It controls the visibility of the folder content on the map. You can display all or hide all. Plus, you can include or exclude subfolders.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib06.jpg?nolink |}}
==== Adding a new folder ====
To add a new empty folder to the library, tap **+** button to open the content-adding dialog and select **New folder**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib07.jpg?nolink |}}\\ The new folder dialog emerges. After inserting the folder name and editing other info about the folder (optionally), tap **ADD**:\\  {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib08.jpg?nolink |}}
=== Parent folder ===
This is pre-filled by the name of the folder from which you triggered the request for the new folder. If you want to change this, tap the parent folder name to open the selection of a different parent folder.
=== Icon&Name ===
Set the icon (optional) and the name (mandatory) of the new folder.
=== Line style ===
Here you can set a [[manual:user_guide:tracks:management#folder_style|folder-specific line style]] for tracks and routes stored in this folder. Otherwise, the [[manual:user_guide:tracks:management#global_style|general line]] style is applied.
=== Point label ===
Here you can set a folder-specific behavior of the map labels for points.
  * //Never// - point labels are never displayed
  * //On hover// - point labels appear when the map cursor hovers over the point
  * //Always// - point labels are permanently visible
  * //General settings// - the point labels/screens behavior submits general settings made in [[manual:user_guide:settings:points_tracks#point_label_content|Settings > Points&Tracks]] 
=== Track label ===
Here you can set a folder-specific behavior of the map labels for tracks and routes.
  * //Do not show// - no labels are displayed
  * //Simple// - a track starting point displays a simple label with the track name
  * //Complex// - a track starting point displays a label with the track name, length, positive and negative elevation
  * //General settings// - the track labels behavior submits general setting of [[manual:user_guide:settings:points_tracks#track_label|track labels]]

=== Circles around points ===
This option is primarily useful for **geocachers** - according to Geocaching.com rules, physical parts of individual geocaches may be placed at least 528ft/161m from each other. This function helps visualize such an area:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:geocaching:gc_tools09.jpg?nolink |}}

The folder setup can be edited at any time using the **folder tools** in the library menu.
===== Library menu =====
The menu offering essential operations with the content and folders can be opened from the topbar:// {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib09.jpg?nolink |}} 
==== Visibility ====
{{ :manual:user_guide:mylib10.jpg?nolink |}}
This submenu controls **which items included in the currently open folder are displayed on the map and which are not**. 
  * **Display all** - all content across the folder, including subfolders, is displayed on the map
  * **Hide all** - all content from the current folder that is displayed on the map, is hidden
  * **Invert** - all hidden content is displayed and vice versa
==== Select ====
**Select** turns the screen into **editing and multiple selection** mode:// {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib11.jpg?nolink |}}\\ Checking the items marks them for one of many mass-editing activities. Besides the checkboxes, there are also other options for selection:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib12.jpg?nolink |}}

==== Sorting ====
==== Filtering ====
==== Cloud sync ====
<wrap info>Available only with **[[https://www.locusmap.app/premium|Premium Gold]]**</wrap>

Selecting this option opens a dialog for manual synchronization of your data with the cloud and other devices using the same Locus account.\\ Your points, tracks and routes are then **automatically synchronized** (saved to and downloaded back) with your **[[https://web.locusmap.app|personal web library]]** via Locus cloud service. This happens after every change of your data - when a track is recorded, route planned etc. **[[manual:user_guide:sync|More details here >>]]**
<WRAP center round important>
**It is necessary to perform the first synchronization with the cloud manually.** This way your personal web database is created.
