Working with folders in the Library panel

You can organize items in the Library panel using folders, much like in the Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder. When you create a new symbol, it is stored in the selected folder. If no folder is selected, the symbol is stored at the root of the library.

The Library panel columns list the name of an item, its type, the number of times it's used in the file, its linkage status and identifier (if the item is associated with a shared library or is exported for ActionScript), and the date on which it was last modified. You can sort items in the Library panel by any column. The Library panel also contains an options pop-up menu with options for modifying library items.

To create a new folder:

Click the New Folder button at the bottom of the Library panel.

To open or close a folder, do one of the following:

| Double-click the folder.
| Select the folder and choose Expand Folder or Collapse Folder from the Library options menu.

To open or close all folders:

Choose Expand All Folders or Collapse All Folders from the Library options menu.
