Title block: Library name. why it has to be a directory path and what does mean this directory as I already have my project directory?

Hello,
I have created my project and I saved it on Desktop:C:\Users\tar00\Desktop\Cadence\Work- then following this tutorial ends me in finding out that I have found another directory in the Library name  which is:C:\Users\tar00\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\17.4.0.

add to that I have the directory where cadence saves the library which is:C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4\tools\capture\library

I am bit confused which directory I must be using now and what each one is used for?

    C:\Users\tar00\Desktop\Cadence\Work - Working directory

    C:\Users\tar00\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\17.4.0 : Cadence tool Home path

    C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4\tools\capture\library : cadence default library path.

    If you have a custom title block created then provide that specific library path in the Design template else you can use the default title blocks available within the software.
