So I created this purple symbol, which is all of the lighter color leaves up here. I believe they used symbols to create this, But when I opened it, there were no symbols in this document. So now I’m going to open a different document. The second way to use them is to replace all of the instances with one click or one click and drag. So that is one way to use symbols to create sort of logo libraries for all of your clients. You don’t really want these symbols unexpanded in your finalized documents. You can also hit Cmd E or Ctrl E on a PC, And now it is not linked to one of these. So I’m going to go up to Object > Expand. I can expand this, so it’s not linked to a symbol anymore.

So I’ll select this first symbol with my V tool or the selection tool. All right, now, I’m going to create a different symbol for each one of these logos. So we’ll say, Select All Unused and we’ll delete. I’m going to get rid of these symbols that are in here because I don’t really need those. First, I’ll come over here to my Symbol’s palette. So I’m going to create four different symbols of these. Y I can see this other logo, which is just white and then this black logo. I have a circle with AB AB Design if I hit Cmd.
