Library Settings: General

Skip to content

English

Every library in your Tiled account has its own settings. The General tab controls how the library looks, how outbound emails are addressed, whether microapps in it can be shared externally, and what users see when they first sign in. This article covers each setting, where to find them, and how to configure broadcasting and a custom landing experience.

Accessing Library Settings

Heads Up: Library Settings moved in v63. They now live inside Account Settings rather than in the library’s own navigation. The settings themselves, and what each one does, are unchanged — only the location moved, and access permissions are the same as before.

1. Open — Account Settings.

2. Click — Library Settings.

3. Select — the library you want to configure. The General settings open.

Pro Tip: Once you have selected a library, User Groups is available at the top of the page — so you can move between a library’s settings and its groups without going back out to the library list.

General Settings

The General tab holds seven settings, covering appearance, outbound email, presentations, sharing restrictions, and the login experience.

Setting	What it does
Library Name	The name shown at the top of the microapp library and in the global navigation. Edit it here.
Custom library avatar	A custom image or .gif representing the library. Minimum dimensions are 150px × 150px.
Send external emails from (reply-to address)	The name and email address recipients see when someone shares a microapp from this library by direct share.
Custom room url (for synced presentations)	The base URL used for broadcasts from this library. Required before anyone in the library can broadcast.
Security	Turn on to default new microapps in this library to internal only, which disables external sharing for them.
Broadcasting	Turn on to enable presenter only mode by default for broadcasts from this library.
Custom microapp landing experience	Show a specific microapp when users sign in, instead of taking them straight to the library.

Updating the Library Avatar

A library’s logo can be set in two places.

• When creating the library — hover over the pre-made icon and click to upload your own image.

• Any time after — in Library Settings, click Change under Custom library avatar.

Heads Up: Use an image at least 150px × 150px. Smaller images will look soft in the global navigation, where the avatar is displayed at several sizes.

This is a separate control from the account-level share link defaults. The two work at different layers:

Control	What it governs
Library Security (this setting)	Whether new microapps in this library can be shared externally at all. A library-level switch.
Account share link defaults	For microapps that can be shared, which emails or domains may open the link, and whether viewers must verify with a one-time passcode. Set in Account Settings → General.

Enabling Broadcast

Broadcast lets a presenter run a live session around a microapp while attendees engage with it in real time. It has to be configured in two places: once for the library, then once per user.

For more information about broadcasting a microapp session, see How to Use Tiled to Broadcast Live Sessions.

Step 1 — Configure the library

1. Open — Account Settings → Library Settings and select the library.

2. Find — the Custom room url (for synced presentations) field. This lists the library name as the base URL for all broadcasts from this library.

3. Confirm — the URL is correct before users configure their own room URLs.

Step 2 — Configure each user

1. Open — your user profile and go to the Profile section.

2. Find — the Custom room url (for synced presentations) field.

3. Enter — the room name you want, then click Update Account to save.

The finished address follows this pattern:

join.tiled.co/{Library-Name}/{Room-URL}

Pro Tip: Use a person’s name or a department name for the Room URL. Broadcast engagement is attributed through this URL, so a meaningful name makes the analytics far easier to read later.

Heads Up: The user profile was reorganized in v65 into Profile, Notifications, Connected Apps, and Downloads. Nothing was removed — the room URL field now sits under Profile.

Custom Microapp Landing Experience

A custom landing experience shows a specific microapp when users sign in, instead of dropping them straight into the library. It is set per library.

Setting one up

1. Open — Account Settings → Library Settings and select the library.

2. Find — the Custom microapp landing experience section and check Enable custom microapp landing experience.

3. Choose — a microapp from the dropdown.

4. Set the frequency — — whether the microapp appears every time a user signs in, or only once.

Once vs. Always

Setting	When the microapp appears
Once	The first time a user signs in or launches Tiled after you configure it. This is the default when Always is not selected.
Always	Every time the user signs in. Note this is tied to sign-in, not to entering the library — a user moving between libraries during a session will not see it again.

What to expect

• The landing microapp appears in both the native iOS/Android app and the web experience at app.tiled.co/microapps.

• Because it is a microapp, it inherits all normal microapp functionality — including Personalization, which will prompt users to choose an instance when it launches.

• Users can exit the microapp and continue to the library.

• If you update the landing experience while a user is mid-session, they will not be interrupted.

Heads Up: Tiled distinguishes Admins from Users at sign-in, and the landing microapp is not shown to Admins. To preview it yourself, sign in at app.tiled.co/microapps.

Why use one

A landing experience is a way to put something in front of users before they reach the library — useful when an organization needs people to see or do something first. Common uses:

• Orienting new customers, prospects, trial users, or employees at the start of their journey

• Drawing attention to a significant or long-awaited release

• Confirmations users need to acknowledge

• Success, legal, or compliance messaging that should not be missed

How does it work?

For the Admin:
- Admins must enable it for the appropriate library
- Admin selects which microapp from their library will appear to all their users.
- Admin selects how often the microapp l appears for the users: once OR always

For the User:
- Once enabled, the microapp will appear in the native client and web browser (app.tiled.co/microapps) experiences
- Based on the cadence setting, users will either come in contact with the custom landing experience once or every time
- As Landing Experiences are microapps, they inherit all functionality related to microapps
- Users will be able exit the microapp and get to the Library
- Users will not be interrupted if the custom landing experience is updated by the Admin during an active session

General Details:
- Tiled is aware when Admins are logging into their account versus Users. When Admins are logged into their account, the enabled microapp will not be displayed. If Admins want to view the enabled Custom Microapp Landing Experience microapp, they can login using app.tiled.co/microapps.

Terms Used Here

Term	Definition
Sign In	Entering login credentials — either opening the Tiled native app on iOS or Android and signing in, or signing in at app.tiled.co.
Launch	Opening Tiled while already authenticated — reopening the native app after it was closed, or going to app.tiled.co while still logged in.
Microapp Landing Experience	A library microapp configured by an admin to display at a set frequency after users sign in or launch Tiled.
Once	The microapp appears only the first time a user signs in or launches Tiled after the setting was configured.
Always	The microapp appears every time a user signs in or launches Tiled.

Common Questions

Question	Answer
I can’t find Library Settings in my library navigation. Where did they go?	They moved to Account Settings in v63. Go to Account Settings → Library Settings and select your library. The settings and who can access them are unchanged.
Does turning on Security lock down microapps that already exist?	No. It defaults new microapps in the library to internal only. Microapps already in the library keep their current sharing settings, so review those separately.
Why can’t my team broadcast even though I enabled it?	Broadcast needs configuration in two places. Confirm the library’s Custom room url is set, then have each presenter set their own room URL in their user profile. Broadcast also has to be enabled for the account by an Account Admin.
Why don’t I see the custom landing microapp when I sign in?	Tiled does not show the landing experience to Admins. Sign in at app.tiled.co/microapps to see it as a user would.
Does “Always” mean every time someone opens the library?	No — it means every time they sign in or launch Tiled. Moving between libraries during an active session will not trigger it again.
What happens if my landing microapp uses Personalization?	Users are prompted to choose an instance when the microapp launches, exactly as they would be anywhere else. The landing experience inherits all standard microapp functionality.
How is this different from the account-level share link settings?	Library Security decides whether new microapps in a library can be shared externally at all. Account share link defaults decide who may open a link once sharing is allowed. They operate at different layers and are set in different places.
