To use Agentforce Data Libraries, you must have Data 360 [set up](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_setup_provision.htm&language=en_US&type=5). Data libraries consume Data 360 credits.

Important Web search isn't supported for new data libraries. To search the web in your agents, use the [Search the Web standard action](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_actions_ref_search_the_web.htm&type=5&language=en_US). To search the web in your prompt templates, use the [web retriever in Prompt Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.prompt_builder_retriever_web.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

1. To create a data library, go to Agentforce Data Library in setup. Click **New Library**.
2. Enter a library name, and the API name is automatically populated. Optionally, enter a description.
