Personalization—and related actions*—in video scenes are configured using data fields and values, which are created and stored in a data library. The data library is then connected to the video.
Depending on how you plan to personalize your video, there are various methods for connecting a data library to the video you're working on. The table below outlines all the scenarios.
| # | Scenario | What Do I Need to Do? | Help Center Resources |
| 1 | I'm creating my first video and my account does not yet have any data libraries. | Create a new data library from scratch. | Creating a New Data Library |
| 2 | I'm creating a video and have found an existing data library that suits my needs. | Select the existing data library. | Selecting an Existing Data Library |
| 3 | I'm creating a video and have found an existing data library that suits my needs, but it's missing a data field I require. | Select the existing data library and then add the missing data field to it. Adding a new data field will not affect other videos using the same data library. |

| 4 | I'm creating a video and have found an existing data library that mostly suits my needs, but I'll need to edit some values to make it fully suitable. | After selecting the existing data library, duplicate it immediately. This is important because any changes made to the original library will also affect other videos that use it. When you duplicate the library, your video will automatically switch to use the new copy. You can then make any changes you'd like in the duplicated data library. |

| 5 | I'm duplicating a video but the data library currently connected to it won't suit the duplicated version. | 1. Duplicate the original video. 2. Open the data library from the duplicated video. 3. Use the Duplicate and switch option. This will create a copy of the data library and automatically link the video to it. 4. Make any changes you'd like in the duplicated data library. |
|
| 6 | I want to remove all personalization from the video. | Use the dedicated feature to remove the data library from the video, along with personalization from all scenes. | |
| 7 | I'm duplicating a personalized video but I want the duplicate to be non-personalized. | Duplicate the video and ensure that the Remove Data Library and delete personalization option is selected during the duplication process. |
