However, what exactly is the Adobe Animate library panel?
You can view and arrange these components as you work with the Library panel (Window > Library), which shows a scroll list containing the names of every item in the library.
Folders are a useful tool for organizing items in the Library panel. A new symbol that you create gets saved in the chosen folder.
The name, type, number of uses in the file, linkage status, identifier (if the item is part of a shared library or exported for ActionScript), and last modification date are all listed in columns within the Library panel.
Select whether to replace the current item with the new one when you import or copy a library asset into a document that already has another asset with the same name.
A thumbnail preview of the item shows up at the top of the Library panel when you select an item.
Symbols can be found using either their names or their ActionScript linkage names in the library search panel.
There are several ways to copy library assets from a source document to a destination document. Symbols can also be shared as shared library assets between documents at runtime or during authoring.
