If you publish a document library on your hosted Document Library Pro site, you may want search engines like Google to index the files and information inside it. This article explains how bots see the content of a library and what affects whether it gets crawled.
How the library content is served
Each hosted library has its own page on your Document Library Pro site, and you can also place a library on another site using the embed code. The documents, titles, descriptions, and download links are rendered as standard HTML on the page, so a search engine reads them the same way it reads any other text on the page.
That means the document names, categories, and descriptions shown in your library are all available to be crawled and indexed, as long as the page itself is public.
Embedding a library on another website
When you embed a library elsewhere using the universal embed code, the library loads inside an iframe on that page. Search engines treat the iframe content as belonging to your Document Library Pro site rather than the page it is embedded on. So the canonical, crawlable home of your library content is its page on your hosted site.
For the best search visibility, keep the library page on your hosted site public so engines have a clear, indexable source for the content.
Keeping a library private from search engines
If you would rather a library was not indexed, you can lock it behind the password gate on the Advanced plan. Protected libraries send a no-index instruction, so search engines will leave them out of their results. See the Document Library Pro documentation for more on visibility and password protection.
