# How do I add a document to the library?

A single document can be displayed as a separate module in the library.

You can add documents as separate elements in the library in the Admin Dashboard. The document is then displayed in the Explore section of a deck. Like a normal deck, a document can also contain a summary and an exercise section.

## Adding a document to the library

Go to the **library** in the Admin Dashboard to add decks and documents.

![Go to the Library in the Create section.](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/67977354a195132198129e35/20250218151505_3309.png)

Click on the **Add** button within the library and select Document.

![Select Document to add a document element.](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/67977354a195132198129e35/20250218151505_1153.png)

A creation screen opens. First select the **topic or phase** to which you want to assign the document. You must assign a **title** to each document, which is displayed in the library. As with a deck, you must select a content package to which you want to assign the document. In the creation screen, you also have a field for the **document upload**. You can upload the desired **PDF** document here.

Click **OK** to add the document to the library. Initially, the document is set to "not visible". Click on the **eye icon** to make the document visible.

Once the document has been created, you can edit it at any time by clicking on the name of the element. For example, you can add a **cover image** for the document or a summary, just like for a deck. You can see the added **PDF document** in the Explore section.

![In the document editor you can add all necessary details.](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/67977354a195132198129e35/20250218151505_7455.png)

If necessary, you can also turn a document into a normal learning deck by adding other content cards to the **Explore** section. You can also add an exercise section to a document. To do this, switch to the task cards tab and add task cards.
