This page / section pertains to **BrightAuthor Classic**, our legacy app. **BrightSign Author **is our latest app for managing content and players.

Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
:::

The **Library** section allows you to see all content files (images, audio, video) that have been uploaded to your BrightSign Network account. Files with a green check mark are currently active. You can perform any of the following actions:

- *Switch between thumbnail and list views*: Click the icons in the upper-right portion of the screen.
- *Refresh the library*: Click the **Refresh** button in the upper-right portion of the screen.
- *View item info*: Right-click a file and click **Info**. Here you can view the file size, type, date modified, and date uploaded, as well as all presentations and all Dynamic Playlists using the file.
- *Delete an item*: Right-click a file and click **Delete**. Keep in mind that you can only delete files that aren’t currently active.
- *Edit Media Tags*: Right-click a file and click **Edit Tags** to add or remove media tags from that media item. You can switch between editing **System** and **User** tags:
  - **System tags** have values that are defined by the BrightSign Network (such as the media file size and upload date); you cannot edit the title or value of these tags.
  - **User tags** have customizable titles and text values. 
- *Copy Media Tags*: Right-click a file and click **Copy Tags**. Select one or more target media files for copying and click **Save**. This will copy all tags that are associated with the original file; it will also overwrite any tags associated with the target media file(s).
