The symbols that you create in a drawing are saved with the CorelDRAW file. If you want to use the symbols in other drawings or share them with other users, you can save or export them to the Corel Symbol Library (CSL) format, creating a symbol library. When you save a drawing to the Corel Symbol Library (CSL) format, all symbol instances are saved with the document. When you export a library, only the symbols are saved with the document.
The Symbol manager docker displays the libraries that are in the local Symbols folder. The Symbols folder is the default location for custom symbol libraries that have been exported from CorelDRAW and imported libraries that are copied locally.
The symbols that are used within the document appear under the document filename in the Symbol manager docker.
You can add libraries and collections (groups of library files) to your drawing. You can also delete libraries and collections.
You can add symbols to an existing library.
