[Configure Your Libraries](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/playbook-powerpoint?hsLang=en#configure-your-libraries) August 24, 2026 # Add a Play Library to your Playbook ## This article will walk you through how to add a folder from your computer or a shared drive as a Play Library in your PQD Playbook. ### What is this function? It is a way for a user to select any folder on their computer or shared drive shortcut and add it into their Play Library so that they can have access to it when building their Playbook with PQD. ### Why is it important? If a user has drawing files stored on their computer that are not yet visible in their Play Library, they can use this function to add the folder containing those files as a Play Library, making those drawings immediately available when working with PQD in PowerPoint. ### How to Add a Play Library to Your PQD Playbook - Open up your **PQD Playbook** icon within **PowerPoint** **![](https://help.proquickdraw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-06-2026-04-39-13-9498-PM.png?width=193&height=185&name=image-png-Mar-06-2026-04-39-13-9498-PM.png)** -
