The Content Library is a centralized storage mechanism in PADS4, introduced to streamline content management and synchronization across multiple devices and users, such as Designers, Schedulers, and Viewers.

It enables the storage and distribution of:

  • Presentations
  • Images
  • Videos
  • Other media assets

This centralized repository is hosted on the PADS4 Server and features a folder structure similar to Windows Explorer, allowing for flexible and intuitive organization.

For a detailed explanation of managing content and folders, refer to the PADS4 Content Organizer Manual.
