Welcome to Programa's Product Library, your central database for frequently used products, designed to simplify your workflow and save you valuable time. This shared resource allows your entire team to access and contribute to a wealth of product knowledge, enhancing collaboration within your studio.

Please note: Our platform's design has recently been updated, so you may notice differences in this video, compared to the current layout. The steps and functionality outlined in this guide remains the same.
