To use XELF authoring tool’s image, audio, and vector object, you need to know about the XELF library. Users can upload images or audio files directly to the XELF library given to their account. You can also use the images, audio, and vector images provided by XELF.
Image library is a space for using image objects. There are my images that you upload and use, and the basic images that XELF provides.
My image is the space where users can upload images themselves to create their own image library. You can upload images by clicking the Upload button, and you can also create folders to manage images. When you click the View information icon, detailed information of the image is displayed and you can enter and manage the description, tag and copyright information.
