We keep adding things to it, and you don't want to lose out on those symbols, brushes, or graphic styles. One of my recommendations is to save them in consecutive numbers, so in this case, I would save this as my Missy Start File 002, because this is the second version of it. If I save over it again, I'll save it as 003, and so on. That way, I will always know what my newest start file is. Remember that your brushes, symbols, and actions save with the start file, but sometimes you might have groups of them that you want to use for a particular thing, and not necessarily open that start file. You can save them separately by clicking on the library, going to "save brushes," and I can save this as my basic brush collection, and I can save that, but I could also have saved this as my lace brush collection, or save collections based on the companies you're working…
