You should now see the material in the library list. The page you land on after saving is the list, and you can open the new material from there to add more detail.

## Required fields

Only two fields stop you from saving:

- **Name**: "Name must not be empty" appears if it is blank.
- **Code (SKU)**: "Code must not be empty" appears if it is blank.

Inside the optional sections, a row you add must be completed: each composition needs a **Composition**, each colour needs a **Name** ("Color name must not be empty"), each media row needs a **Media title**, and each attachment or tier supplier row needs its value.

> [!NOTE]
> The create form is one page with no tabs. Certificates, the price of each colour, and the Sampling, Production, Inventory and Styles tabs appear after the material is saved. See [Open and edit a material](https://docs.vestislabs.com/library/material-detail-and-edit/).

## Make a material public

When you choose **Public** in **Library Type**, a **Make Library Public** dialog warns that the item becomes visible and available to all brands within Vestis Labs and that, once made public, you cannot change it back to private. Click **Yes** to continue or **No** to keep the current type.
