The Design Library, a Notes NSF file, is intended to be opened in the Notes client. It contains code samples for various useful functions and reusable design element descriptions. The latter provides documentation for a design element that you can add to one of your own databases by clicking a button.

A sampling of the functionality to be found here:

- Table Editing - A couple of different ways to store tabular information in a Notes document using multi-valued fields, allowing the user to edit one row at a time.
- Progress Bar - Display a percent complete graph while running long processes.
- @Functions script library - LotusScript implementations of various useful list-oriented @Functions, such as @Word and @Explode. A lot of these have been implemented in Notes 6 for string arguments, but these also work in release 5 and on array arguments.
- “Don’t show me this message again” checkbox for Notes applications.
- Comparison of any two documents side by side.
- A more efficient history footer subform showing the author and time of the last several edits of a document.
- A better Newsletter class.
- Object collection classes in LotusScript — Queue and Linked List.
- Compact all databases (locally or on a server).
- Scan a server for database ACL problems and for multiple replicas of the same database.
- Remove orphaned response documents agent.
- ” SendKeys” library sends keystrokes to the Windows OS.
