Recover deleted content
In the event that the content of the shared library is deleted, either by you or by a participant, you should know that it will classically be moved to the Recently Deleted album. This means that once content is deleted, you can still easily restore it for up to 30 days. If you would like to do so, just go to the app Photos, where in the sidebar click Recently deleted. Here, just content is enough to restore search, mark and tap on Restore at the top right. To view deleted content only from the shared library, just tap on the icon in the upper left and select it.

After creating a shared library, of course you need to add content to it. While on the Mac it is necessary to add it manually, on the iPhone you can set the photos taken to be saved directly to the shared library.
