Copying library assets between
documents
You can copy library assets from a source document into a destination document in a variety
of ways: by copying and pasting the asset, by dragging and dropping the asset, or by opening
the library of the source document in the destination document and dragging the source
document assets into the destination document.
You can also share symbols between documents as shared library assets during authoring or at
runtime. See “Using shared library assets” on page 104.
If you attempt to copy assets that have the same name as existing assets in the destination
document, the Resolve Library Conflicts dialog box lets you choose whether to overwrite the
existing assets or to preserve the existing assets and add the new assets with modified names.
See “Resolving conflicts between library assets” on page 108. You can organize library assets in
folders to minimize name conflicts when copying assets between documents. See “Working
with folders in the Library panel” on page 33.
To copy a library asset by copying and pasting:
1. Select the asset on the Stage in the source document.
2. Select Edit > Copy.
3. Make the destination document the active document.
4. Place the pointer on the Stage and select Edit > Paste in Center to paste the asset in the
center of the visible work area. Select Edit > Paste in Place to place the asset in the same
location as in the source document.
