4. Save Changes

Enable Libraries Per-Page

Example: Using GSAP

First, enable GSAP either site-wide or on a specific page. Then in your theme or custom JS:

// GSAP is available as a global
gsap.to(".my-element", {
    duration: 1,
    x: 100
});

// ScrollTrigger is also included
ScrollTrigger.create({
    trigger: ".my-trigger",
    animation: tween
});

Advanced Usage

Recreating Taxonomy Terms

If you add a new library and it's not appearing in the editor:

1. Visit any admin page with ?recreate_terms=1 appended to the URL
2. This safely creates any missing terms without affecting existing selections

To force recreation (destructive, will remove existing selections):

1. Append ?recreate_terms=1&force=1 to any admin URL
2. Back up your database first!
