Modify a symbol instance
After you modify a symbol instance, you can redefine the original symbol in the Symbols panel. When you redefine a
symbol, all existing symbol instances take on the new definition.
1 Select an instance of the symbol.
2 Click the Break Link To Symbol button in the Symbols panel or Control panel.
3 Edit the artwork.
4 (Optional) do one of the following:
To replace the parent symbol with this edited version, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the
modified symbol on top of the old symbol in the Symbols panel. The symbol is replaced in the Symbols panel
and is updated in the current file.
To create a new symbol with this edited version, drag the modified symbol to the Symbols panel or click New
Symbol
in the Symbols panel.
Expand a symbol instance
1 Select one or more symbol instances.
2 Do one of the following:
Click the Break Link To Symbol button in the Symbols panel or Control panel, or choose Break Link To
Symbol from the panel menu.
Choose Object > Expand, and then click OK in the Expand dialog box.
Illustrator places the components of the symbol instance in a group. Once expanded, you can edit the artwork.
Duplicate a symbol instance on the artboard
If youve scaled, rotated, sheared (or skewed), or reflected a symbol instance and you want to add more instances with
exactly those same modifications, duplicate the modified instance.
1 Select the symbol instance.
2 Do one of the following:
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the symbol instance to another location on the artboard.
Copy and paste the symbol instance.
Note: If you want to duplicate a symbol in the Symbols panel, for example to create a new symbol based on an existing
symbol, duplicate the symbol, not the instance. (See
Symbols panel overview.)
