Library on Desktop
This article will show you how you can create and manage the Library on the Desktop.
What is the Library?
The Library in Alkimii is a central space where you can upload and organise files into folders, making it easy to share key information with your teams through the mobile app. This might include company policies, operational updates, training materials, or general reading that employees can access in their own time.
You have full control over who sees what – files can be made visible to everyone, or restricted to specific individuals. This flexibility helps ensure that the right people receive the right information when they need it.
⚠️ Please be advised that you will not be able to upload mp4 video files.
