What is the Account library? (new Hub)

The Account library is your central content store in the new Hub. It's where you create content once and reuse it across multiple guidebooks — when you update something here, it updates everywhere it's used.

You'll find the Account library in the left sidebar.

This is especially useful if you manage more than one property. Instead of editing the same content guidebook by guidebook, you manage it in one place and it stays in sync across all the guidebooks it's shared with.


What's inside the Account library?

The Account library is made up of four sections:


1. Content Hub

The Content Hub holds all your topics and is organised into two tabs:

Tab

What it shows

Content

A full list of every topic in your account. For each topic you can see the topic name, whether it's guidebook-specific or shared, what tags are applied, and which guidebooks it appears in.

Tags

A list of all your tags, showing which guidebooks are assigned to each tag and the total guidebook count per tag.

The Content tab lets you filter your topics in three ways:

  • All Content – every topic in your account

  • Shared Content – only topics that appear in more than one guidebook

  • Guidebook-Specific Content – only topics that belong to a single guidebook

2. Field Codes

Field Codes are dynamic placeholders you can insert into any topic or message template. They automatically fill in guest-specific values when a guest views your guidebook.

Examples:

  • Guest name

  • Arrival date

  • Departure date

Insert a Field Code into your content, and it renders the correct live value for each guest automatically.

3. Custom Elements

Custom Elements are reusable content blocks you build once and drop into any topic across your guidebooks.

This is useful for content you use in multiple places — for example, a standard house rules block, a safety information notice, or a branded welcome message. Build it once as a Custom Element, insert it wherever you need it, and update it from one place.

4. Tags

Tags let you group content together and distribute it across multiple guidebooks at once. They are optional — if you only have one or two guidebooks, you may not need them at all.

How tags work:

  • Create a tag (e.g. "Beach properties" or "Kitchen hardware")

  • Apply the tag to topics via each topic's Visibility tab

  • Assign the tag to guidebooks

  • Every guidebook carrying that tag automatically receives the tagged content

When you update a tagged topic, the change flows to every guidebook associated with that tag.

Guidebook-specific vs. shared content

The Account library introduces a clear distinction between two types of content:

Type

Where it lives

Who sees it

How to edit

Guidebook-specific

Created and managed inside a single guidebook's Content tab

Only that guidebook

Edit directly in the guidebook

Shared

Created or promoted in the Account library's Content Hub

Multiple guidebooks (controlled via tags or direct assignment)

Edit in the Content Hub — changes update everywhere

Key points:

  • When you add a new topic inside a guidebook, it starts as guidebook-specific by default.

  • You can promote guidebook-specific content to shared content at any time — one by one or in bulk.

  • If you try to edit a shared topic from inside a guidebook, you'll be redirected to the Content Hub to make the edit there. This ensures your change applies consistently across all the guidebooks using that topic.


Promoting guidebook content to shared content

You can convert guidebook-specific topics to shared content in two ways:

One by one:

  1. Open the topic in the Content Hub.

  2. Add new tags or guidebook assignments on the topic's Visibility tab.

  3. Save — the topic is now shared.

In bulk:

  1. In the Content Hub, filter to Guidebook-Specific Content.

  2. Select multiple topics using the checkboxes.

  3. Click Make Shared.

  4. Choose a tag name and assign guidebooks.

  5. All selected topics become shared with the same tag and assignments.


Do I need the Account library if I only have one guidebook?

Not really — for now. If you have a single guidebook, all your content is guidebook-specific and you can manage everything from the Guidebook Content tab.

The Account library becomes valuable when you:

  • Add a second guidebook and want to share content between them

  • Want to use Field Codes for dynamic guest-specific values

  • Want to create reusable Custom Elements

It's there when you need it.


What's different from the legacy Hub?

Legacy Hub

New Hub

No central content store — content managed separately inside each guidebook

Account library — create once, reuse everywhere

Editing shared content meant opening each guidebook individually

Edit a shared topic once in the Content Hub and it updates across every guidebook

Tags were the primary way to organise content — required even for single-guidebook accounts

Tags are optional power-tooling — only needed when distributing content across multiple guidebooks

Field Codes and Custom Elements accessed from separate areas

All reusable content tools grouped together in the Account library
