How do I view and manage media files shared with me and others in Canvas Studio?

You can view media shared with you in your Shared with Me library. If media is shared with you, you can view the list of groups and individuals with whom the media is also shared, share the media, or manage your shared access, including removing your own access. If you added the media to Studio, or if you can edit a media file that is shared with you, you can also manage shared access for all others with whom the file is shared.

If media is shared with you, you can also create a copy of it in your own library.
