Note: Button instances have additional properties that can be edited without affecting the symbol. For more information 
about editing button instances, see “Editing button symbols” on page 224.
To edit instance properties without affecting the symbol or breaking the symbol link:
1
Select the instance.
2
Modify instance properties in the Property inspector.
Importing and exporting symbols
The Library panel stores animation, graphic, and button symbols that you create in the current document. It also 
stores symbols that you import into the current document. The Library panel is specific to the current document, 
but you can use the symbols from one library in more than one Fireworks document by importing and exporting, 
cutting and pasting, or dragging and dropping.
You can import symbols from other libraries, including libraries containing symbols prepared in Fireworks and 
libraries containing symbols that you or someone else previously exported. Conversely, if you have created symbols 
that you would like to reuse or share, you can export your own symbol libraries. When you export a symbol library, 
it is exported as a PNG file.
Importing symbols
Fireworks has symbol libraries in the Common Library panel from which you can import prepared animation 
symbols, graphic symbols, and button symbols, as well as navigation bars and multi-symbol themes. Using these 
symbols, you can quickly create a sophisticated web page containing advanced navigation elements without having 
to spend time creating original symbols.
To import one or more prepared symbols from a Fireworks symbol library:
1
Open a Fireworks document.
2
Select a folder in the Common Library panel. These folders contain various pre-created symbols such as anima-
tions and bullets.
In addition, you can import symbols from previously exported library PNG files located on your hard disk, on a CD, 
or on a network. For more information about exporting symbols, see “Exporting symbols” on page 195.
To import symbols from another file into the current document:
1
Do one of the following:
Select Import Symbols from the Library panel Options menu.
Select Edit > Libraries > Other.
2
Navigate to the folder containing the file, select the file, and click Open.
3
Select the symbols to import and click Import.
