#  Shared Team Library

Node-RED allows you to import and export flows and functions to a local library. This is helpful for saving pieces of flow that you want to reuse.

With FlowFuse Premium, each Node-RED instance has access to a Team Library that makes it very easy to share flows and functions without having to manually copy them around.

For example, you may have a standard set of flows that you want each Node-RED instance to include. By exporting them to the Team Library, you can quickly import them wherever you want to use them.

A short video is available on how to use this feature.

#  Exporting flows

To export flows to the library within the Node-RED editor:

1. Select the nodes to be included
2. Open the Export Dialog (Main Menu -> Export, or Ctrl/Cmd-E)
3. Select the Team Library tab
4. Enter a name for the library entry
5. Click Export

#  Importing flows
