Create a symbol

What you learned:

• A symbol is a reusable object that resides in the Library (Command+L, Control+L on PC)
• Each animate file has its own library that holds all your assets
• A symbol on the stage, is called an “Instance”
• You can edit a symbol by double-clicking the symbol in the Library or double-click the instance on the stage to Edit in Place.
• When you update a symbol, it updates every instance in your movie

Symbols make it easy to update and reuse your art or illustrations
