[START HERE](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#start-here) # Get to know the Microsimulation library ## Learn about the Microsimulation Library This is an **admin only** feature.  The Microsimulation library is the home for all your simulation content. It replaces the old Microsimulations experience and brings your single player and multiplayer templates together in one place, so you build and manage everything from one screen.  Use the links below to jump to a section: - [What is the Microsimulation Library?](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-microsimulation-library#msim-library) - [Where is the Microsimulation Library?](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-microsimulation-library#where-library) - [Changing your Microsimulation Library view](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-microsimulation-library#changing-view) - [How can I search and filter My Microsimulations library?](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-microsimulation-library#search-filter) - [Understanding the Microsimulation Template Status Labels](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-microsimulation-library#template-status) - [Managing a Microsimulation Template](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-microsimulation-library#managing-template) --- ### What is the Microsimulation Library? The Microsimulation Library contains **Microsimulation Templates, not live simulations**. To run a Microsimulation, you activate it into a deployment. Editing a template never changes a simulation that's already running. --- ### Where is the Microsimulation Library? 1. Login to your iluminr account, and click the **Microsimulations** option in the navigation menu. 2. Select **My Microsimulations** from the options available. 3. This will take you to the Microsimulation Library, for both single player and multiplayer Microsimulation content. ![Mcrosimulation Library](https://help.iluminr.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Mcrosimulation%20Library.png?width=670&height=271&name=Mcrosimulation%20Library.png) --- ### Changing your Microsimulation Library view - **Card view** — each simulation as a card with its cover, title, a **Single Player** or **Multiplayer** label, and its status. - **List view** — better when you have a lot: it shows when each was last modified, its owner, collaborators, and status at a glance. --- ### How can I search and filter My Microsimulations library? Switch with the view toggle, and use **search** to jump to a simulation by name. Filter by **type** (single or multiplayer) and status (Ready or Draft) to narrow a long list. More filters are on the way.  --- ### Understanding the Microsimulation Template Status Labels Every simulation has a status of: - **Draft** — still being built; can't be deployed yet. - **Ready** — published and available to add to a deployment. Only **Ready** simulations will appear when you go to add a microsim to a deployment. --- ### Managing a Microsimulation Template From a card's **⋯ menu** you can **Edit**, **Duplicate**, or **Delete**. - **Duplicate** is the fastest way to spin a variation off a scenario that already works. - **Collaborators & permissions** — control who can access each simulation. When editing, invite people as **Contributors** (can edit) or **Reviewers** (view only) — individuals, roles, or teams. - **Version control** — when you update a live, Ready simulation, the change is versioned so you can see what changed and when. --- ### Frequently Asked Questions: **Why can't I deploy my simulation?** It's probably still a **Draft**. Only **Ready** simulations can be added to a deployment — open it and mark it Ready to deploy. **Will editing a template change a running simulation?** No. Templates and deployments are separate; a live deployment keeps the version it launched with. **Where did my historical Multiplayer Microsimulations go?** Existing and imported simulations live in the **Archive**. Bring the ones you still use into the new framework from there. --- ### Related Articles: - [Get to know Deployments for Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/get-to-know-deployments?hsLang=en) - Get to know the AI Context Engine personalised feedback - [Get to know the Multiplayer Microsimulation Builder](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/multiplayer-microsim-builder?hsLang=en) **Need more assistance?** [Submit a support ticket](https://iluminr.io/resource-centre/support-ticket/?hsLang=en) - [iluminr for Response and Communications](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Get Started with Using iluminr](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#get-started-with-using-iluminr) - [Communications](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#communications) - [Critical Event Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#critical-event-management) - [Training Options](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-response-and-communications?hsLang=en#training-options) - [iluminr for Admin Users](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Get started with managing iluminr](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#get-started-with-managing-iluminr) - [Integrations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#integrations) - [People and Permission Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#people-and-permission-management) - [Event Room Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#event-room-management) - [Alert Automations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/iluminr-for-admin-users?hsLang=en#alert-automations) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Manage Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [START HERE](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#start-here) - [Multiplayer Content Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#multiplayer-content-management) - [Single Player Content Management](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#single-player-content-management) - [Learnspace for Single Player Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#learnspace-for-single-player-microsimulations) - [Deploying Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#deploying-microsimulations) - [Microsimulation Insights (reporting)](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/manage-microsimulations?hsLang=en#microsimulation-insights-reporting) - [Participate in Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/participate-in-microsimulations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Participate in Single Player Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/participate-in-microsimulations?hsLang=en#participate-in-single-player-microsimulations) - [Participate in Multiplayer Microsimulations](https://help.iluminr.io/knowledge/participate-in-microsimulations?hsLang=en#participate-in-multiplayer-microsimulations) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.iluminr.io/hs-fs/hubfs/iluminr_logo.png?width=111&height=24&name=iluminr_logo.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://iluminr.io?hsLang=en) [iluminr](https://iluminr.io/?hsLang=en) - [Submit a Support Ticket](https://iluminr.io/resource-centre/support-ticket/?hsLang=en) - [Terms of Use](https://iluminr.io/terms-of-use/?hsLang=en) - [Privacy Policy](https://iluminr.io/privacy-policy/?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, iluminr
