Locations

Locations represent the physical places where your books live — a shelf, a room, a branch, or anything else that makes sense for your collection.

Managing locations

The Locations page lists every location as its own card, with its description and the total number of books currently stored there.

• Click Add to create a new location, giving it a name and description.
• Use ✏️ to edit a location, or 🗑️ to delete it (with confirmation).
• Expand a location's card to see the books stored there.

Default location

Click the ⭐ next to any location to mark it Default — only one location can hold that badge at a time.

Your default location is pre-selected whenever you add a book manually, so a physical copy is created there automatically unless you pick a different one (or clear the field to add the book without any stock). It's handy if most new arrivals end up in the same place.

Using locations

Once created, a location becomes available wherever you assign a physical copy to a place:

• Selecting a location while adding a book by ISBN or manually.
• Choosing a location when adding or editing a stock copy on a book's page.
• Automatically, one per custom shelf, when importing from Goodreads.

This makes it easy to answer "where is this book?" or "what's on shelf B?" at a glance.
