The Rehab Guru library holds thousands of exercises. You can find what you need by typing a search term, by narrowing the list with filters, or by combining the two. When you want to browse rather than search, expand the library into a full-screen grid.

Open Creator from the sidebar. On a laptop or desktop screen the library is already open down the left of the studio, on the Exercises tab, with your programme in the centre.

The panel stays open while you add exercises, so you can work through a whole search without reopening it. If you want more room for the programme, click the thin bar on the right edge of the library to tuck it away, or drag the same bar to make the panel wider or narrower. Tucked away, the library shrinks to a narrow strip with an arrow, a search icon and the word Exercises; click the strip to bring it back. On a smaller window there is a Library button in the top bar instead.

The library panel shows only a handful of exercises at a time, which is fine when you know what you are looking for. To browse, click the expand button at the top of the panel, beside the Templates tab.

The library slides out over the programme as a grid of picture cards. Along the top are the Exercises and Templates tabs, the search box, the Search, Favourites and My Exercises tabs, the filters and the number of results, with a reminder underneath: click an exercise to add it, double-click to preview, press / to search. Your programme is still there underneath, exactly as you left it.

In the grid the filters are laid out as six separate drop-downs, Difficulty, Equipment, Muscle, Movement, Aim and Joint, instead of sitting under one Filters button. Click one to tick the options you want; each option shows how many exercises match.

Click Card size and choose Small, Medium or Large. Small fits the most exercises on the screen; Large gives you a bigger picture of each one. The library remembers your choice on that device.

Each page of the grid holds 60 exercises. Use the arrows at the foot of the screen to move between pages.

With Video preview switched on in the top right, resting your mouse on a card for a moment plays that exercise's video in the card itself, so you can check the movement without leaving the grid. Move the mouse away and the picture returns. If you would rather the videos stayed still, switch the toggle off; the library remembers this on your device too. Video preview works with a mouse, not on a touch screen.

Click anywhere on a card to add that exercise to your programme. Cards already in your programme have a blue outline and a blue tick, and clicking one again takes it out. The row of buttons along the bottom of each card gives you the other options: add it (the plus becomes a minus to remove it once it is in), duplicate it into My Exercises so you can edit your own copy, preview it, or add it to or remove it from your favourites with the heart, which is orange for exercises already in your favourites.

Click Done in the top right, or press Esc, and the grid slides away to reveal your programme with everything you added in place. The library returns to its narrow panel on the left.

The Templates tab expands in the same way, laying your templates out as cards across the screen with the search box, the Mine, team and Rehab Guru buttons for choosing whose templates to show, and the past prescription box along the top.

Underneath the search box are three tabs that decide which exercises you are searching:

Type into the search box at the top of the library. You can press / from anywhere in the Creator to jump straight to it.

The more specific your term, the tighter the results. Searching bridge returns the bridge variations; searching something broad like leg returns a great deal more, which you can then narrow with the filters. The page count at the foot of the panel shows how many pages of results there are.

Click Filters under the tabs. A list opens with six sections (in the full-screen grid the same six appear as separate drop-downs along the top):

Click a section to open it. Each option shows the number of exercises that match, so you can see how much a filter will narrow things before you apply it. Tick as many options as you like, in as many sections as you need, and the results update as you go.

Once a filter is on, the Filters button shows how many you have applied, and the filters themselves are listed beside it, for example Difficulty: Easy. Click Clear to remove them all at once, or open Filters again and untick an option to remove just that one.

Filters and keywords work together, so "squat" plus Difficulty: Easy gives you only the easy squats.

Double-click an exercise card to preview it. A panel opens on the right with the video, the images, the difficulty and tags, and the step-by-step instructions your client will see. The CC and speaker buttons above the video turn captions and narration on or off while you watch.

From the preview you can move through the results with the arrows at the bottom, Save to my exercises to keep a copy, or Add to programme. The arrow beside Add to programme offers Add and edit parameters, which adds the exercise and opens the Edit params box straight away so you can set its sets, reps and so on in one go. If the exercise is already in your programme, the button reads Remove from programme instead.

Click an exercise card once and it drops into the programme in the centre of the screen. The card gets a blue tick so you can see at a glance what you have already used, and clicking it again takes it back out.

Once it is in the programme you set the sets, reps and everything else directly on the row. See Setting Exercise Parameters in a Programme for that, including how to give two or three exercises the same sets and reps in one go.
