Reset transformations
To reset any transformations to symbols, select the symbol and click the Reset button in the Control panel. You can also

Edit or redefine a symbol
You can edit a symbol by changing the symbols artwork or you can redefine the symbol by replacing it with new
artwork. Editing and redefining a symbol changes the appearance of the symbol in the Symbols panel, as well as all
instances of the symbol on the artboard.
Edit a symbol
1 Do one of the following to open the symbol in isolation mode:
Select an instance of the symbol and click Edit Symbol in the Control panel. When the Alert box opens, click OK.
Double-click an instance of the symbol. When the Alert box opens, click OK.
Double-click a symbol in the Symbols panel. A temporary instance of the symbol appears in the center of the
artboard.
2 Edit the artwork.
3 Exit isolation mode by clicking the Exit Isolation Mode button at the upper-left corner of the artboard or in the
Control panel or pressing Esc.
You can also apply the pixel-align property to a symbol. For more information, see Aligning symbols to pixel grid.
Redefine a symbol with different artwork
1 Select the artwork that you want to use to redefine an existing symbol. Make sure to select original artwork and not
a symbol instance.
2 In the Symbols panel, click the symbol you want to redefine, and choose Redefine Symbol from the panel menu.
Note: The selected artwork automatically becomes an instance of the symbol. If you don’t want the selected artwork to
become a symbol instance, press Shift as you choose Redefine Symbol from the panel menu.
If you are not able to locate the panel menu, see Use panel menus.
Symbol libraries
Symbol libraries are collections of preset symbols. When you open a symbol library, it appears in a new panel (not the
Symbols panel).
You select, sort, and view items in a symbol library the same as you do in the Symbols panel. However, you can’t add
items to, delete items from, or edit the items in symbol libraries.
