 ===== Macro Library Window =====

 You can add macros to your library by choosing [[Menus#File_Export_as_Macro_Library|Export as Macro Library]] from the [[Menus#File|File menu]] and selecting the Add to My Macro Library checkbox.  You can get Macro Library entries from us or from other Keyboard Maestro users and add them to you library by double clicking them or by choosing [[Menus#File_Import_to_Macro_Library|Import to Macro Library]] from the [[Menus#File|File menu]].
-Remember to use caution when installing a macro or macro library from anyone – macros can potentially do a lot of damage and compromise the security of your Mac, so only install macros from trusted sources.  If you hold down all the modifiers (Command, Option, Control, Shift) when importing macros from a file they will be imported disabled (either the parent macro group will be disabled, or if it exists already, the macros themselves will be disabled).  Alternatively, you can temporarily quit the Keyboard Maestro Engine while importing macros and verify their behaviour before relaunching the Engine.

 ===== Icon Chooser Window =====

 Alternatively, you can copy an image from anywhere and paste it in to the icon well (although Keyboard Maestro stores a small reference to the Icon Chooser icons, so that is much more efficient that storing the image in your macros as copy & paste will).
