You use the Brushes palette to manage the brushes for a document. By default, the Brushes palette contains several brushes of each type. You can create new brushes, modify existing brushes, and delete the brushes you don't use. Brushes that you create and store in the Brushes palette are associated only with the current file. Each Illustrator file can have a different set of brushes in its Brushes palette. Displaying the Brushes palette Choose Window > Brushes.
