# Persona libraries

Persona libraries allow you to **reuse personas**. Personas are fundamental to Conducttr's concept of crisis simulation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
A project has one persona library used across all exercises in that project. Making a change to a persona will affect all exercises in that project.
{% endhint %}

## Library tooling

#### Filtering

Use the toolbar at the top of the persona library to filter your persona list:
