Library assets
Copy library assets between documents
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.
Share symbols between documents as shared library assets during authoring or at runtime.
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. Organize library assets in folders to minimize name conflicts when
copying assets between documents.
