- [Instructor] In this movie, I'll show you how…to update an asset across multiple documents…in a single operation.…And this is what really makes libraries worthwhile,…because just imagine you have an element…such as a logo, and it appears not only…in multiple documents, but they're being worked on…by multiple people as well, and yet you can modify…that logo and have it update…in every single document automatically.…Alright, I'll go ahead and select the logo…by pressing ctrl+a or cmd+a on the Mac,…and then armed with the black arrow tool,…I'll drag and drop the logo into the libraries panel.…
Now of course it doesn't have to be in this library,…it could be in any library you choose,…but I'm still working inside the design elements library.…Alright, now I want to rename this guy…by double-clicking on artwork one,…and I'll just call it logo.…Alright, now let's add that logo to our artwork…in progress, and I'm going to do that by first selecting…this lower text here, with the black arrow tool once again,…and I'm going to change the type size value…
