Introduction
RobinPad can take in everything you paint with: brush packs, themes, color palettes, washi tapes and saved pads. There are two ways to bring them in, and you can use both at the same time.
Through your library
You tell RobinPad where a folder lives on your computer, and it keeps an eye on it. Everything you drop in that folder shows up inside the app, and you switch on each thing when you want to use it.
This is the way to go if you keep all your resources in one place: you load them once and forget about them.

Loaded directly
Each tool can also load a file on its own: a theme from the theme editor, a brush pack from the brush creator, a palette from the palettes panel, a pattern from the washi tape tool, a pad from the new pad dialog.
Nothing is copied anywhere when you do this. The file is used right where you loaded it, and it stays on your computer where it was.

Which one to use
A library for the things you use every day (My library), and a direct load for the one-off brush pack a friend sent you (Loaded directly). There is no wrong answer here.
