# Cross-project library elements

# Cross-project library elements {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Library elements are single artifacts or trees of artifacts that you can reuse in
multiple projects.

Each library element has a single root artifact. All child artifacts of that artifact are
included in the library element. The following image shows a library element based on the Improve
Customer Service Quality critical success factor. The two measurement artifacts that are its
children are included automatically in the library element.

You can drag a library element into a KPI Tree from the Library Elements
menu on the Analysis tab of any project.

* **[Create a library element](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2KWjfb_KYR1u9to4tG4iYQ)**   
  Convert an artifact and its children in a KPI tree into a KPI Composer cross-project library element.
* **[Use a library element](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/H2UvmFPEzQp9S3qwYQGVsQ)**   
  Add a library element to a KPI tree in any KPI Composer project.
* **[Edit or delete a library element](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/auUYIW6T0ixmqoEn3CbgGQ#edit-library-element)**   
  You can add artifacts to a library element, or convert a library element back to project-based artifacts. You can also edit the data definitions of artifacts in a library element.
