Ideally, you should have one folder on your network that is Read-only to most people and contains any objects you purchase. Ours is called "KA-Office-Library"

In Archicad, click File > Library Manager. Browse to the folder location, click the folder, and then click "Add."

You will see the folder appear on the right-side of the Library Manager. Click "Done."

I almost wish Objects Online included these instructions on their site somewhere.

It's not so easy if you do not know.... Archicad tends to be like that.
