 - To support a wide range of users spanning across different platforms, multi-user setups, and those with large (several terabyte) libraries.

This page will change over time, so make sure that your contributions still line up with the current guidelines before submitting a pull request.
+Thank you so much for showing interest in contributing to TagStudio! Here are a set of instructions and guidelines for contributing code or documentation to the project. This document will change over time, so make sure that your contributions still line up with the requirements here before submitting a pull request.

-If you wish to discuss TagStudio further, feel free to join the [Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/hRNnVKhF2G)!
+## Getting Started

-## :material-order-bool-ascending-variant: Contribution Checklist
-
-#### All Contributions
-
- [x] I've read the Contribution Guidelines (this page) and the [Style Guide](style.md)
- [x] I've read the [FAQ](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/README.md#faq)
- [x] I've checked the project's [pull requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls) for any existing or conflicting PRs
- [x] I've set up my [development environment](developing.md) including [Ruff](developing.md#ruff), [Pyright](developing.md#pyright), and [Pytest](developing.md#pytest)
-
-#### Feature Additions
-
- [x] I've read the [Roadmap](roadmap.md) and understand what core features are planned, their priorities, and their scheduled timelines
- [x] I've found an existing [feature request](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) or created my own **_before starting work on a feature_** so that the feature can be discussed beforehand
+- Check the [Feature Roadmap](roadmap.md) page to see what priority features there are, the [FAQ](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/README.md#faq), as well as the project's [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls).
+- If you'd like to add a feature that isn't on the feature roadmap or doesn't have an open issue, **PLEASE create a feature request** issue for it discussing your intentions so any feedback or important information can be given by the team first.
+    - We don't want you wasting time developing a feature or making a change that can't/won't be added for any reason ranging from pre-existing refactors to design philosophy differences.
+- **Please don't** create pull requests that consist of large refactors, _especially_ without discussing them with us first. These end up doing more harm than good for the project by continuously delaying progress and disrupting everyone else's work.
+- If you wish to discuss TagStudio further, feel free to join the [Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/hRNnVKhF2G)!

 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! danger "Before Developing Features"
-    **PLEASE** open a [feature request](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) or ensure that one already exists **_before you begin work on the feature_**. This allows us to discuss the feature idea beforehand, approve or reject it, and give any specific implementation requirements. We **do not want** to have to close pull requests because they add features that conflict with the project's goals, guidelines, or other planned features.
+!!! note
+    If the fix is small and self-explanatory (i.e. a typo), then it doesn't require an issue to be opened first. Issue tracking is supposed to make our lives easier, not harder. Please use your best judgement to minimize the amount of work for everyone involved.

-#### Fixes
+### Contribution Checklist

- [x] I've found an existing [bug report](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) or created my own for this fix _(as long as the fix is substantial enough to warrant opening a bug report for)_
+- I've read the [Feature Roadmap](roadmap.md) page
+- I've read the [FAQ](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/README.md#faq)
+- I've checked the project's [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls)
+- **I've created a new issue for my feature/fix _before_ starting work on it**, or have at least notified others in the relevant existing issue(s) of my intention to work on it
+- I've set up my development environment including Ruff, Pyright, and Pytest
+- I've read the CONTRIBUTING.md/Contributing page on the documentation site as well as the and/or [Style Guide](style.md)
+- **_I mean it, I've found or created an issue for my feature/fix!_**

 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! note "Issue Exceptions for Small Fixes"
-    If the fix is small and self-explanatory (e.g. a typo), then it doesn't require an issue to be opened first. Issue tracking is supposed to make our lives easier, not harder. Please use your best judgement to minimize the amount of work for everyone involved.
+!!! failure "Unacceptable Code"
+    The following types of code will NOT be accepted to the project:

-## :material-thumb-down:{.red} Unacceptable Code
+    - Code that is not yours or does not have a compatible license with TagStudio's [own one](../LICENSE)
+    - Code that you do not understand and/or cannot explain

-The following types of code will **NOT** be accepted to the project:
+## Creating a Development Environment

- Code that does not follow the [Contribution Checklist](#contribution-checklist) or violates the Contribution Guidelines
- Large refactors that have not been discussed with us first
-    - These types of refactors end up doing more harm than good for the project by continuously delaying progress and disrupting everyone else's work
- Other people/projects' code that is used without consent or does not have a [compatible license](#licenses)
- Code that you do not understand and/or cannot explain (i.e. "vibe coding")
- Code that adds a drastic amount of complexity with minimal utility
+If you wish to develop for TagStudio, you'll need to create a development environment by installing the required dependencies. You have a number of options depending on your level of experience and familiarly with existing Python toolchains.

---
+If you know what you're doing and have developed for Python projects in the past, you can get started quickly with the "Brief Instructions" below. Otherwise, please see the full instructions on the documentation website for "[Creating a Development Environment](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#creating-a-development-environment)".

-## :material-license: Licenses
+### Brief Instructions

-As of May 2026, the TagStudio project has begun migrating to different licenses for different sections of the codebase where possible. Any new code contributed inside the "core" of TagStudio must be under the [MIT license](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/LICENSES/MIT.txt), while any code specific to the Qt frontend is to remain under [GPL-3.0](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/LICENSES/GPL-3.0-only.txt) where possible.
+1.  Have [Python 3.12](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and PIP installed. Also have [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) installed if you wish to have audio/video playback and thumbnails.
+2.  Clone the repository to the folder of your choosing:
+    ```
+    git clone https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio.git
+    ```
+3.  Use a dependency manager such as [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) or [Poetry 2.0](https://python-poetry.org/blog/category/releases/) to install the required dependencies, or alternatively create and activate a [virtual environment](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#manual-installation) with `venv`.
+
+4.  If using a virtual environment instead of a dependency manager, install an editable version of the program and development dependencies with the following PIP command:
+
+    ```
+    pip install -e ".[dev]"
+    ```
+
+    Otherwise, modify the command above for use with your dependency manager of choice. For example if using uv, you may use this:
+
+    ```
+    uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
+    ```
+
+## Workflow Checks
+
+When pushing your code, several automated workflows will check it against predefined tests and style checks. It's _highly recommended_ that you run these checks locally beforehand to avoid having to fight back-and-forth with the workflow checks inside your pull requests.

 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! question "Relicensing Process"
-    Existing GPL-3.0 core code is **only** migrated to MIT if all of the original contributors have given their consent, or if the code becomes replaced by a significantly different implementation.
+!!! tip
+    To format the code automatically before each commit, there's a configured action available for the `pre-commit` hook. Install it by running `pre-commit install`. The hook will be executed each time on running `git commit`.

-Licensing is now accomplished using the [REUSE](https://reuse.software/spec-3.3/) specification. This means that each file is licensed separately, with text files having a comment header with the license and copyright and other files having this information declared in the [RESUSE.toml](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/REUSE.toml) file.

+Ruff is a Python linter and code formatter that helps enforce a consistent formatting style across our codebase.

-#### Types of Files That Should Be MIT
+Ruff is installed alongside the `pip install -e ".[dev]"` command, but is also available as a VS Code [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=charliermarsh.ruff), PyCharm [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20574-ruff), and [more](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/integrations/).

- Backend code that supports TagStudio's core systems, irrespective of the frontend used
-    - e.g. The database backend for storing TagStudio data, the search query system, database tests, etc.
- Frontend code for the CLI _(to be developed)_
- Platform-agnostic thumbnail extraction, rendering, and caching
- Translations added to an MIT-labeled [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/tagstudio/) component
+Our Ruff workflow runs whenever a pull request is opened or commits are pushed. Note that this workflow **does NOT** format code, but just serves to report any issues that have not been addressed by that point.

-#### Types of Files That Should Be GPL-3.0
+#### Running Locally

- Code for the Qt frontend
-    - e.g. Qt widgets, views, controllers, Qt rendering code, Qt tests, etc.
+Inside the root repository directory:

---
+- Lint code with `ruff check`
+    - Some linting suggestions can be automatically formatted with `ruff check --fix`
+- Format code with `ruff format`

-## :material-code-braces-box: Commits and Pull Requests
+Ruff should automatically discover the configuration options inside the [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/pyproject.toml) file. For more information, see the [ruff configuration discovery docs](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/configuration/#config-file-discovery).
+
+### [Pyright](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright)
+
+Pyright is a static type checker for Python that helps enforce type strictness and prevent easy-to-miss errors across our codebase.
+
+Pyright is installed alongside the `pip install -e ".[dev]"` command, but is also available as VS Code extensions (see the [Pyright](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-pyright.pyright), [Pylance](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.vscode-pylance), and [basedpyright](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=detachhead.basedpyright) extensions), a PyCharm [setting](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/lsp-tools.html#pyright), or in the form of forks such as [basedpyright](https://docs.basedpyright.com/latest/).
+
+Our Pyright workflow runs whenever a pull request is opened or commits are pushed. Note that this **does NOT** format code or fix issues, but just serves to report any issues that have not been addressed by that point.

+Pytest is installed alongside the `pip install -e ".[dev]"` command.
+
+Our Pytest workflow runs whenever a pull request is opened or commits are pushed.
+
+#### Running Locally
+
+- Run all tests by running `pytest tests/` in the repository root
+
+## Code Style
+
+See the [Style Guide](style.md)
+
+### Modules & Implementations
+
+- **Do not** modify legacy library code in the `src/core/library/json/` directory
+- Avoid direct calls to `os`
+    - Use `Pathlib` library instead of `os.path`
+    - Use `platform.system()` instead of `os.name` and `sys.platform`
+- Don't prepend local imports with `tagstudio`, stick to `src`
+- Use the `logger` system instead of `print` statements
+- Avoid nested f-strings
+- Use HTML-like tags inside Qt widgets over stylesheets where possible
+
+### Commit and Pull Request Style

 - Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0) as a guideline for commit messages. This allows us to easily generate changelogs for releases.
    - See some [examples](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#examples) of what this looks like in practice.
 - Use clear and concise commit messages. If your commit does too much, either consider breaking it up into smaller commits or providing extra detail in the commit description.
 - Pull requests should have an adequate title and description which clearly outline your intentions and changes/additions. Feel free to provide screenshots, GIFs, or videos, especially for UI changes.
- Pull requests should ideally be limited to a **single** feature or fix.
+- Pull requests should ideally be limited to **a single** feature or fix.

 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! danger "Force Pushing"
+!!! important
    **Please do not force push if your PR is open for review!** Force pushing makes it impossible to discern which changes have already been reviewed and which haven't. This means a reviewer will then have to re-review all the already reviewed code, which is a lot of unnecessary work for reviewers.

 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! tip "PR Scope"
+!!! tip
    If you're unsure where to stop the scope of your PR, ask yourself: _"If I broke this up, could any parts of it still be used by the project in the meantime?"_

-### Workflow Checks
-
-When pushing your code, several automated [workflows](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/tree/main/.github/workflows) will check it against predefined tests and style checks. It's _highly recommended_ that you run these checks locally beforehand to avoid having to fight back-and-forth with the workflow checks inside your pull requests. These checks currently include:
-
- [Ruff](developing.md#ruff) [`check`](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/linter) and [`format`](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/formatter/) (read-only)
- [Pyright](developing.md#pyright) type checking
- [Pytest](developing.md#pytest) tests
- REUSE [license compliance](#licenses)
-
 ### Runtime Requirements

-Code must function on all of the supported operating systems and versions:
+- Final code must function on supported versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux:
+    - Windows: 10, 11
+    - macOS: 13.0+
+    - Linux: _Varies_
+- Final code must **_NOT:_**
+    - Contain superfluous or unnecessary logging statements
+    - Cause unreasonable slowdowns to the program outside of a progress-indicated task
+    - Cause undesirable visual glitches or artifacts on screen

- Windows 10 & 11
- macOS 14.0+
- Common Linux distributions and versions

 # :material-text-box: Fields

-Fields are extra pieces of information you can add to [file entries](./entries.md), similar to how [tags](tags.md) are added to entries. Fields are useful for storing information that doesn't nessisarily need to be a tag, such as titles, comments, notes, specific dates or times, etc.
+Fields are additional types of metadata that you can attach to [file entries](./entries.md). Like [tags](tags.md), fields are not stored inside files themselves nor in sidecar files, but rather inside the respective TagStudio [library](./index.md) save file.

-To add a field to an entry, click the "Add Field" button in the preview panel. From there you can search and/or select a [field template](#field-templates) to choose from, or create a new one from the search bar. Alternatively you can create new field templates from **Edit -> Manage Field Templates**.

+A string of text, displayed as a single line.

-Field templates are handy templates to use when adding fields to entries that contain preconfigured options but no actual data. When you add a field to an entry from the "Add Field" button, you choose from a template to add and then fill in the information afterwards. TagStudio includes a handful of field templates to start you off with, but you're free to modify or delete them, or simply create your own.
+- e.g: Title, Author, Artist, URL, etc.

-Field templates can be viewed, created, and deleted from the **Edit -> Manage Field Templates** window. You can also edit field templates from the "Add Field" menu, and create new ones on the fly from the search bar. Note that you can not currently delete field templates from the "Add Field" menu, just like tags.

 # :material-database: Libraries

-A TagStudio library represents a folder of content (photos, documents, or [any other files](preview-support.md)) and contains TagStudio data specific to that library ([tags](tags.md), [fields](fields.md), [colors](colors.md), etc.) along with the associations between that data and your files. A library folder can be stored locally on your computer, on an external drive, on a network drive/NAS, or most other locations accessible by your system. TagStudio passively and non-destructively includes contents of this folder (including subfolders) in your library as [file entries](entries.md).
-
-**Your files are not _moved_, _copied_, or _modified_ in any way!**
-
 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! note "Planned Library Features & Changes"
-    - The *option* to **store library data separately** from library content
-        - This will enable TagStudio libraries to be created for read-only folders
-        - This will enable TagStudio to have different libraries for the same content folder(s)
-    - **Multi-root libraries** that can read from multiple content folders
-        - This will reduce the need for using complex [`.ts_ignore`](ignore.md) rules
-        - This will enable having library content that spans across different drives, most notably on Windows, without the need for OS-dependant workarounds such as symlinks
-    - Sharable tag packs and color packs
-    - Global tags, accessible across different libraries
+!!! info
+    This page is a work in progress and needs to be updated with additional information.

-    See the [Roadmap](roadmap.md#library) for more information.
+The library is how TagStudio represents your chosen directory, with every file inside being represented by a [file entry](entries.md). You can have as many or few libraries as you wish, since each libraries' data is stored within a `.TagStudio` folder at its root. From there the library save file itself is stored as `ts_library.sqlite`, with TagStudio versions 9.4 and below using a the legacy `ts_library.json` format.

-## :material-database-plus: Creating/Opening a Library
-
-To create or open a [library](libraries.md), go to **File -> Open/Create Library** in the menu bar or use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd> (<kbd>⌘ Command </kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd> on macOS) and chose a folder with file contents you'd like to use as a TagStudio library. If a `.TagStudio` folder doesn't already exist inside the directory, TagStudio will create one and automatically scan the folder for files to include. Otherwise, the pre-existing library is opened.
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! info "Legacy Library Migration"
-    If you open a library created with TagStudio **v9.4.2 or earlier** in **[v9.5.0](changelog.md#950-march-3rd-2025) or later**, you'll be walked through a migration process that converts the old `ts_library.json` save file to the new `ts_library.sqlite` format. The original JSON file is preserved and can be easily deleted from the **View -> Library Information** panel once you're satisfied with the migration.
-
-## :material-database-refresh: Refreshing Directories
-
-TagStudio automatically scans for new or updated files when opening a library by default. This behavior can be toggled in the settings if your library is very large and/or located on a slow drive.
-
-![Settings -> Automatically Load New Files](assets/settings_refresh_library_on_open.png)
-
-To manually refresh your library at any time, use **File -> Refresh Directories** from the menu or by using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> (<kbd>⌘ Command </kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> on macOS).
-
-## :material-database-cog: Library Information Panel
-
-The "Library Information" panel can be accessed from **Tools -> Library Information** in the menu bar, and includes various statistics about your library along with quick access to managing common library cleanup tasks such as relinking entries, updating ignored files, and managing library data backups.
-
-![Library Information Panel](assets/library_information.png)
-
-## :material-database-clock: Saving and Creating Backups
-
-As of v9.5.0, libraries save automatically as you work.
-
-To create a timestamped backup of your library save file, go to **File -> Save Library Backup** or use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd> (<kbd>⌘ Command </kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd> on macOS). Backups are also automatically created whenever the database file is migrated to a newer version as a precautionary measure. Backups currently _only_ include your `ts_library.sqlite` file, as that's the database file that contains your core TagStudio data. Your own files are **not** part of any of these backups.
-
-Backups are stored inside the library data folder under `.TagStudio/backups/` and can be managed from the **Tools -> Library Information** panel.
-
-## :material-folder: Library Data Folder
-
-When you create a library, TagStudio creates a hidden `.TagStudio` folder at the root of the chosen content folder. This "data folder" contains all TagStudio data for that library. Library data includes what files are included in your library, what [tags](tags.md) you've created in that library, which files have what tags, and more. Note that this means tags you create only exist _per-library_. Global tags that are accessible across libraries are planned for a [future update](roadmap.md#library).
-
-### :material-file-tree: Data Folder Structure
-
-The library data folder (currently only named `.TagStudio`) is internally structured as follows:
-
-| File/Folder         | Description                                                                                                                                                      |
-| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `ts_library.sqlite` | The library save file. Stores all entries, tags, fields, and other metadata. _(v9.5.0+)_                                                                         |
-| `.ts_ignore`        | An optional ["ignore" file](ignore.md) for excluding files and folders from library scans, similar to a [`.gitignore`](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore) file. |
-| `backups/`          | Timestamped backups of the library save file.                                                                                                                    |
-| `thumbs/`           | Thumbnail images for file previews.                                                                                                                              |

-```
-
-### :material-bag-suitcase: Library Portability
-
-Because the `.TagStudio` _data folder_ is located in your library _content folder_, and it stores all file entry paths _relative_ to the content folder, your library folder can be freely moved to another location without files becoming [unlinked](entries.md#unlinked-entries). This also means that if you have a TagStudio library stored on an external drive, it can be freely moved around to different computers running TagStudio with no issues. Likewise, if your library is located on a network drive or NAS, you can access it from different computers that may map the network location differently from each other _(note that TagStudio currently does not support multiple users accessing the same library at once)._
+Note that this means [tags](tags.md) you create only exist _per-library_. Global tags along with other library structure updates are planned for future releases on the [roadmap](roadmap.md#library).

-### Versioning
+Starting with TagStudio [v9.5.0-pr1](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/releases/tag/v9.5.0-pr1), the library save format has been moved to a [SQLite](https://sqlite.org) format. Legacy JSON libraries are migrated (with the user's consent) to the new format when opening in current versions of the program. The save format versioning is now separate from the program's versioning number.

 Versions **1-100** stored the database version in a table called `preferences` in a row with the `key` column of `"DB_VERSION"` inside the corresponding `value` column.

 Versions **>101** store the database version in a table called `versions` in a row with the `key` column of `'CURRENT'` inside the corresponding `value` column. The `versions` table also stores the initial database version in which the file was created with under the `'INITIAL'` key. Databases created before this key was introduced will always have `'INITIAL'` value of `100`.

-#### `versions` Table
-
-| key (`VARCHAR`) | value (`INTEGER`)                          |
-| --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
-| `'INITIAL'`     | Version DB was created with, minimum `100` |
-| `'CURRENT'`     | Current version of DB                      |
-
-#### Major and Minor Versioning
-
-Version **100** came along with a major/minor versioning system built into to the single version number. The version number divided by 100 denotes the major version, while remaining digits denote the minor version. TagStudio will allow reading from "future" databases so long as the major version does not increase past the last one it understands.
-
-For example, a database with version 204 would still be readable in an older version of TagStudio that understands version 200. A database with version 300, on the other hand, would no longer be readable in that same older version and an error message would display.
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! note ""Version 0" Message"
-    If you see an message when opening a library along the lines of **"Found Version 0"**, this means that you're opening a library created with a newer version of TagStudio in an older version of TagStudio that does not recognize the future versioning system. To open your library, you should use a TagStudio version greater than or equal to the one the library was created or last used with.

 - When writing text for window titles or form titles, use "[Title Case](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/title-case)" capitalization. Your IDE may have a command to format this for you automatically, although some may incorrectly capitalize short prepositions. In a pinch you can use a website such as [capitalizemytitle.com](https://capitalizemytitle.com/) to check.
 - If it wasn't mentioned above, then stick to [**PEP-8**](https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/)!

-### Modules & Implementations
-
- **Do not** modify legacy library code in the `src/core/library/json/` directory
- Avoid direct calls to `os`
-    - Use `Pathlib` library instead of `os.path`
-    - Use `platform.system()` instead of `os.name` and `sys.platform`
- Don't prepend local imports with `tagstudio`, stick to `src`
- Use the `logger` system instead of `print` statements
- Avoid nested f-strings
- Use HTML-like tags inside Qt widgets over stylesheets where possible
-
-Final submitted code must **_NOT:_**
-
- Contain superfluous or unnecessary logging statements
- Cause unreasonable slowdowns to the program outside of a progress-indicated task
- Cause undesirable visual glitches or artifacts on screen
-
 ### Formatter Configs

-TagStudio provides an [EditorConfig](https://editorconfig.org/#example-file) file ([`.editorconfig`](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/.editorconfig)) along with a [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) config file ([`.prettierrc.toml`](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/.prettierrc.toml)) for formatting files other than .py files (Markdown, JSON, YAML, HTML, CSS, etc.).

-    **_Planned for future version_** *(See the [Roadmap](roadmap.md))*
+    **_Coming in version 9.6.x_**

 Component tags will be built from a composition-based, or "HAS" type relationship between tags. This takes care of instances where an attribute may "have" another attribute, but doesn't inherit from it. Shrek may be an `Ogre`, he may be a `Character`, but he is NOT a `Leather Vest` - even if he's commonly seen _with_ it. Component tags, along with the upcoming "Tag Override" feature, are built to handle these cases in a way that still simplifies the tagging process without adding too much undue complexity for the user.

-## :material-database-plus: Creating/Opening a Library
+## Creating/Opening a Library

-To create or open a [library](libraries.md), go to **File -> Open/Create Library** in the menu bar or use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd> (<kbd>⌘ Command </kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd> on macOS) and chose a folder with file contents you'd like to use as a TagStudio library. If a `.TagStudio` folder doesn't already exist inside the directory, TagStudio will create one and automatically scan the folder for files to include. Otherwise, the pre-existing library is opened.
+With TagStudio opened, start by creating a new library or opening an existing one using File -> Open/Create Library from the menu bar. TagStudio will automatically create a new library from the chosen directory if one does not already exist. Upon creating a new library, TagStudio will automatically scan your folders for files and add those to your library (no files are moved during this process!).

-### :material-database-refresh: Refreshing Directories
+## Refreshing the Library

-TagStudio automatically scans for new or updated files when opening a library by default. Manually refresh by going to **File -> Refresh Directories** in the menu or by using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> (<kbd>⌘ Command </kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> on macOS).

-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-!!! tip "TagStudio Libraries"
-    To learn more about how TagStudio libraries work and how to use them, visit the **[Libraries](libraries.md)** page.
+Libraries under 10,000 files automatically scan for new or modified files when opened. In order to refresh the library manually, select "Refresh Directories" under the File menu.
