Organizing and Displaying Brushes

You can modify the appearance of the Brush Library panel by changing the way brushes are organized and displayed. This allows you to set up the Brush Library panel to best suit your needs. For example, you can hide the recently used brushes to give you more space. In addition, you can also hide brush categories and variants to expose the brushes that you use most. You can also rename variants and restore variants to their default settings if you modified their attributes using the brush controls.
