__NOTOC__
Demonstration Avatars in the [[Library]] folder are a set of male, female, animal and robot outfits created by prominent [[Resident]] [[Creator]]s to demonstrate some of the possibilities of [[Avatar]] creation in Second Life.

==You are Born as a Demonstration Avatar==
During [[Signup]], you are given a choice among several Demonstration Avatars. You are then born [[Inworld]] in the form of the Demonstration Avatar you have chosen.

However, once you are [[Inworld]] it is very easy to change to another Demonstration Avatar. Or you can change your Avatar in many other ways, as described in [[Appearance]], including using the [[Appearance Window]].

Note that it is generally difficult to use the [[Appearance Window]] to modify individual parts of the Demonstation Avatars, because the [[Creator]]s have set restrictive [[Permission]]s on them. If you want an Avatar that is easy to edit using the sliders and color choices of the [[Appearance Window]], try changing to a [[Default Avatar]].

==Changing to another Demonstration Avatars==
One easy way to change your appearance is to switch to another Demonstration Avatar. 

The Demonstration Avatars together with their [[Clothes]] are all available within the [[Library]] folder, where they can be found in the Clothing subfolder. (It may seem strange for the entire Avatars including their body parts to be found in the "Clothing" folder, but they are.)

Each Demonstration Avatar is in a separate sub-folder, known as an [[Outfit]]. To change to a different Demonstration Avatar:
*Open your [[Inventory]] by clicking on the "Inventory" Button at the right of the [[Toolbar]]
*Open the [[Library]] folder at the bottom of your [[Inventory]]
*Within the [[Library]] folder, find the Clothing subfolder, which contains the various Demonstration Avatar [[Outfit]]s.
*Hold the left mouse button down on the folder of the [[Outfit]] that you want to put on
*Holding down the mouse button down, drag the [[Outfit]] folder over your Avatar, and release the mouse button (or you can just double-click on the [[Outfit]] folder)
*Your [[Avatar]] will change into the new Demonstration Avatar that you have put on, with all of its [[Clothes]] (the change may take a few seconds to implement)

Each [[Demonstration Avatar]] that you try on is automatically copied from the [[Library]] folder into the "Clothing" folder of your [[Inventory]].
