# Advanced Scan Library

This library contains an extensive collection of sample scans for StockCharts.com's Advanced Scan Workbench. StockCharts members can use these scans by copying and pasting the scan criteria into the [workbench](https://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/ScanUI).

If you are not familiar with the Advanced Scan Workbench, be sure to check out our [comprehensive documentation](https://help.stockcharts.com/scanning-and-alerts/technical-scans), [helpful tutorials](https://help.stockcharts.com/scanning-and-alerts/scan-writing-resource-center/scanning-tutorials), and [instructional videos](https://stockcharts.com/videos/#Scanning-Alerts) for more information on StockCharts.com's scanning functionality.

* [**Predefined Scans**](https://help.stockcharts.com/scanning-and-alerts/scan-writing-resource-center/advanced-scan-library/predefined-scans)**:** All the scans used on our Predefined Scan Results page.
* [**Published Scans**](https://help.stockcharts.com/scanning-and-alerts/scan-writing-resource-center/advanced-scan-library/published-scans)**:** Scans based on published books and articles.
* [**User-contributed Scans**](https://help.stockcharts.com/scanning-and-alerts/scan-writing-resource-center/advanced-scan-library/user-contributed-scans)**:** Scans sent to us by StockCharts.com users like you.
