Working with folders in the Library window

You can organize items in the Library window 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.

To create a new folder:

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

To move an item between folders:

Drag it from one folder to another.

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.
