Manipulating library entries

You can rearrange the order of entries within a library, move entries from one library to another, replace and delete library entries.

  • To rearrange an entry within a library, click it and drag it to a new position.
  • To copy an entry from one library into another, click it and drag it to the other open library.
  • To replace an entry in a library, select the replacement items in a document; then choose Edit > Copy. Click the entry in the library to select it and choose Edit > Paste.
  • To remove an entry from a library on Mac OS, click it and choose Edit > Clear, Edit > Cut, or press Delete. To remove an entry from a library on Windows, choose Edit (Library palette menu) > Delete or Edit > Cut.
Note: Windows only: When copying, pasting, or deleting library items on Windows, use the Edit menu at the top of the Library palette.
Note: If you move a high-resolution picture after importing it into your document, you will need to update the path to the picture with the Usage command (Utilities menu) when you move the library entry onto a document.
