Sections in the page

• My VCTs — only items you uploaded (private or public).
• Public Catalog — published VCTs from all users.
• All — merges your VCTs with the public catalog.

2. Search bar

• Enter keywords like address, birthdate, diploma.
• Press Search to update results.

- Description — short text from the VCT.
- Languages — language codes supported by display.
- Popularity — stars, ratings, usage counts.
- Visible — shows whether the entry is Public or Private.
- Actions — download, copy, change visibility, delete.

4. Actions per row
