*Libby is an app owned by Overdrive. So they don’t have many similar features.
|
Auto update: This means that system updates happen automatically. This is important because new features may not work unless an app is updated. Overdrive updates itself regularly. |
| Drag and drop: This means that features such as images, videos, and other documents can be dragged and dropped into another document seamlessly. It makes working across various mediums easier. |
| Data import/export: Extra data can be moved to and from overdrive to other workspaces easily. This is important because a file might need to be moved elsewhere quickly and seamlessly. |
| Landing page: This is a standalone webpage created for advertising and marketing campaigns. This is to streamline the process of generating leads because all the information can be seen on one page. |
| Real-time edits: This means that any edits that are made to a document are saved immediately across users. This is important if there are many people working on a document, so all the edits show up instantaneously. |
| Pre-built Templates: These are templates already built into a platform so they don’t need to be bought or downloaded from elsewhere saving time and energy. |
