Introducing the Libraries panel

- [Illustrator] In this movie, I'll introduce you…to the Libraries panel, which allows you to collect paths…and other graphic and text objects…as well as fill and stroke colors, color themes,…and character and paragraph styles.…And then you can turn around and share those items…with other compatible Creative Cloud applications…that are running on your machine,…and you can share them with other folks…who you're working with either locally or remotely.…Now as with all the panels, you get to the Libraries panel…by going up to the Window menu, and in this case,…choosing the Libraries command.…

Now I want you to notice for space reasons on screen here,…I've gone ahead and grouped my Libraries panel…along with Layers, Appearance, and Artboards.…I also want you to see out here in the document window…that we have two flat-looking shadows,…one in the background, and then another in the foreground.…Now, they're going to look snazzier in the future, but for now,…I just want to add them to my default library,…and I'm going to start things off with a background shadow.…
