By clicking on '''Get new files''' you will see a list of available ZIM files to download with the ZIM file details. You can click on '''Download''' button if you want to download the ZIM file directly from the Kiwix and without using any web-browsers and download manager softwares.
Kiwix is able to read .ZIM file format which would be the content package of a specific language of Wikipedia or any other online contents. By this way, you will be able to read these online content in offline mode.
There is a box in the left side of the Library section which is useful when you want to search a specific ZIM file or filter your ZIM files list by a specific size or language, etc. The search box works with both of installed ZIM files (which are in "My library" section) and online ZIM files (which are in "Get new files" section)
Kiwix has a section named "Library" where you can organize your ZIM files. There are many ZIM files available to use including over 80 languages of Wikipedia and some other projects like Wiktionary, Wikisource, Ubuntu documentation, etc.
In order to search a specfic ZIM file, just type its name in the "Search ZIM files" text field and to sort the list by title, size ot date, use the "Sort by" list and to filter the list by a language or filter the files bigger than a specific size, use the options of "Filter by" section.
There are two ways for downloading a ZIM file and using that:
</div>
# Choose your desired .ZIM file from [[{{ll|Wikipedia in all languages}}|the list of Wikipedia ZIM files]], and then download and install that (see [[{{ll|User guide}}|User guide]] if you had any problems installing the ZIM file)
</div>
# Choose your desired .ZIM file from the Library, and then download and install that.
The second method is easier and also there is a complete list of .ZIM files in the Library section which includes some ZIM files (like ICD-10 or Ubuntu Documentation, etc) which are not available in [[{{ll|Wikipedia in all languages}}|the list of Wikipedia ZIM files]].

In order to enter the Library section, click on '''Browse Library''' icon [[File:Nuvola_apps_bookcase.svg|20px|link=]] in the Kiwix toolbar and you can return to your previous page by re-clicking on the same Library icon. You will see a page with a menu in its left side then which contains two options ('''My library''' and '''Get new files''') and also a search box.
