The FreeHand library stores symbols and master pages for reuse throughout a
document. Using the Library panel, you can create a symbol from any object, text, or
group; delete or group symbols; and import and export symbols and master pages.
Symbols help you to streamline the use of repetitive elements and to minimize file
size. You can create instances of a symbol; instances are children of their parent
symbol. Many instances of a single symbol can appear in a document, and these
instances can be transformed individually with different attributes. For more
information, see "Creating and importing symbols" on page 247.
Master pages enable you to create a consistent look throughout your document by
carrying graphics, text, and page attributes across some or all document pages. For
more information, see "Working with master pages" on page 104.
