# Automation Tasks Library Use Cases

To use the **Automation Tasks Library** in the new **Automation Controller** the process is similar to choosing the previous packages. Previous packages will be rendered with the prefix `Package Version`, packages that are **Automation Task Libraries** will have the prefix `Library Version`. The system supports the merge of packages that are a hybrid of automation task libraries and non-automation task libraries. If the package is a merged, it will show both prefixes followed by a the version and separated by a comma.

After creating a new **Automation Tasks Library** in the system, adding it to the system is exactly the same as adding a set of task libraries that were created specifically for the existing **Automation Protocols**. Depending on the scope and protocol configurations, the library will be shown in the task selection screen of the **Automation Controller** creation wizard:

After selecting the tasks and converters that you want to add to the **Automation Controller**, they will be made available in the workflow editor, similarly to what happens to the other system built-in libraries:
