# Browsing your library

Everything starts from the **All Books** page: every book you can see in the
current library, as a wall of covers. From there you narrow, sort, and open.

## The All Books toolbar

- The **search box** finds titles, authors, and more as you type
- The **Sort** dropdown orders the wall: **Title (A-Z)**, **Title (Z-A)**,
  **Author (A-Z)**, **Date Added**, or **Page Count**
- The **Filters** button opens the filter drawer — authors, tags, series,
  progress, and every other field (the full how-to lives in
  [Filters — the complete guide](filters/index.md); this page sticks to
  browsing)
- **Save**, **Load**, and **Clear** manage your saved filters: capture the
  current drawer state under a name, re-apply it any time, and delete ones
  you no longer want. Saved filters are private to your account.

Saved filters pair naturally with [smart collections](collections.md): a
filter answers "what matches right now?", a smart collection keeps matching
forever.

## Opening a book

Click any cover to open the book's detail page — description, files, your
progress, actions to read or listen, and the places to edit metadata or fix
what a scan guessed wrong. The detail page is the hub: series links,
reviews, bookmarks, and the edit modal all live there.

## Series

A book's detail page links to its **series page** — every book in that
series, in order, for the same library. Series are one of the fields the
filter drawer can match on too.

## Podcasts are separate

Podcast feeds and episodes live on the **Podcasts** page, not the book wall —
see [Podcasts](podcasts.md).

*Finding your way back:* **All Books** is the wall-of-covers page with the
**Filters** button; the same toolbar pattern is what you'll see on the
Podcasts page.
