What is the Data library and where do my bulk results go?
The Data library (Prospecting > Data library, /tools/data-library) is the one place to start for your data. It has three tabs:
- Saved lists. An index of your bulk jobs, LinkedIn imports and campaign audiences. It does not hold the records itself: each row has an Open button that takes you back to where they live. Finished verifications also have a CSV button to download the results.
- Import. Where to bring data in: upload a list to find or check emails, add people to a campaign, import from LinkedIn, or add addresses to the suppression list.
- Export. Where to take data out, and which allowance each export uses.

#What appears in it
| Source | What becomes a dataset | Opens |
|---|---|---|
| Email finder | Each bulk upload batch | The batch page under Email finder |
| Email verifier | Each bulk verification batch | The batch page under Email verification |
| LinkedIn import | Each LinkedIn people import into a campaign | The campaign it was imported into |
| Campaign audience | Each campaign that has people in it | The campaign's Audience tab |
What does not appear:
- Single lookups and single verification checks. They are listed on their own tool page under Recent lookups and Recent verifications.
- Lead finder exports. A CSV from Lead finder is a file you download. It is not stored as a dataset, and it uses your monthly lead export allowance.
- Campaign audience downloads. The Audience tab exports a campaign's people; the library only links to it.
Each source shows up to the 100 most recent datasets.

#Read the table
Each dataset row shows:
- Name. The batch name (an unnamed batch is shown as "Email Finder batch" or "Verification batch"), the search query for a LinkedIn import, or the campaign name for an audience.
- Source. Which tool made it.
- Status. Queued, Processing, Completed or Failed.
- Records. How many were processed out of the total, and for a LinkedIn import the campaign it went to.
- Created. The date it was made.

#Find a dataset
Use the search box (it searches names, campaign names and source), the Source dropdown (All tools or one tool) and the Status dropdown. If nothing matches, the page says so and suggests clearing the search or choosing a different source and status. An empty library means you have not yet run a bulk lookup, verification or LinkedIn import, or put anyone in a campaign.
The same link, Data library, appears in the results header of Email finder and Email verification.

#Common problems
- A batch I ran is missing. Check it was a bulk upload (single checks are not listed), and that you are in the right workspace. Only the newest 100 per source are shown, so an older one may need to be reached from its tool page.
- A batch is stuck on Processing. Large batches take time and finish in the background. Open the batch to see how many have been processed, and leave the page open or come back later.
- Does the library use my allowance? No. Looking at it is free. The allowance is used when a lookup finds an address or a verification runs, as described in Lead credits, lookups and allowances.
