# My Catalog

Catalogs are the UI of the Canoa's content management system (CMS). You already know how you can create and track products inside of a Canvas. Catalogs allow you to upload and manage all your product data centrally. 

There is one catalog tool for working with your product data: [<mark style="color:purple;">**My Catalog**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/catalog). And it has two different views to work in - **Gallery** and **Table**.

**Gallery** view is a wonderful catalog-style interface that allows you to browse, search, edit and create collections of products. **Table** view in turn allows you to upload your existing product data at scale. Once uploaded, all your data will be available to view and organize in My Catalog.

{% hint style="info" %}
We have a rich community of brands that also share their catalogs publicly. You can leverage these [<mark style="color:purple;">**Public Catalogs**</mark>](https://www.canoa.supply/products) of tens of thousands of commercial-grade, sustainably-minded products with real pricing, up-to-date lead time information, and scaled 2D drawings that you can drag & drop into your mood board and layout.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Let’s say you want to design with product data that is *not* found in our Public Catalogs or you want to bring in your own product data into Canoa. No problem –  **My Catalog** allows you to seamlessly import your own product data while organizing those products into various **Collections** for design and layouts, and save your favorite, most-used products from the Public Catalog to your private Catalog.

{% hint style="info" %}
Whenever products are shared to you from users in other accounts, they will appear in **My Catalog**.
