# Sprite Library component in Unity
|
||
|
||
The **Sprite Library** component defines which [Sprite Library Asset](SL-Asset.md) a GameObject refers to at runtime. When you attach this component to a GameObject, the [Sprite Resolver component](SL-Resolver.md) attached to the same GameObject or child GameObject will refer to the Sprite Library Asset set by the Sprite Library component. This allows you to change the Sprite referenced by a [Sprite Renderer](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-SpriteRenderer) with the Sprite Resolver component.
|
||
|
||
## Sprite Library Inspector window
|
||
|
||
In the Sprite Library component’s Inspector window, assign the desired Sprite Library Asset to the **Sprite Library Asset** property. You can also select **New** to create and save a new Sprite Library Asset which is automatically assigned to the Sprite Library Asset field.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
After assigning a Sprite Library Asset, the Inspector window shows a **Open Sprite Library Editor** button.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To edit the contents of a Sprite Library Asset, use the [Sprite Library Editor window](SL-Editor.md).
|
||
|
||
## Overriding entries
|
||
You can't override Sprite Library entries directly in the **Inspector** window starting from version 9 of the 2D Animation package. To override Sprite Library entries, use these [public methods](xref:UnityEngine.U2D.Animation.SpriteLibrary#methods) instead.
|
||
|
||
To save the overrides to a separate asset, select **Export to Sprite Library Asset**. The asset is then automatically assigned to the Sprite Library Asset property.
