   Users must have **Library Author**, **Library Contributor**, or **Library Admin** permissions on a library to edit content.
   See :ref:`Add users to Libraries` for more details.

Libraries contain the same rich editing interfaces that are available in
courses. Content can be edited and updated at any time.

To create new content:

#. Click on the :guilabel:`New` button at the top of the page. The Add Content
   sidebar will open.

#. Click on the "Text", "Problem", or "Video" button from the Add Content
   sidebar
