Using shared library assets
Shared library assets let you use assets from a source document in multiple destination
documents.You can share library assets in two different ways:
■
For runtime shared assets, assets from a source document are linked as external files in a
destination document. Runtime assets are loaded into the destination document during
document playback—that is, at runtime. The source document containing the shared
asset does not need to be available on your local network when you author the destination
document. However, the source document must be posted to a URL in order for the
shared asset to be available to the destination document at runtime.
■
For shared assets during authoring, you can update or replace any symbol in a document
you are authoring with any other symbol available on your local network. You can update
the symbol in the destination document as you author the document. The symbol in the
destination document retains its original name and properties, but its contents are
updated or replaced with those of the symbol you select.
Using shared library assets can optimize your workflow and document asset management in
numerous ways. For example, you can use shared library assets to share a font symbol across
multiple sites, provide a single source for elements in animations used across multiple
scenes or document, or create a central resource library to use for tracking and controlling
revisions.
