Inserting a library item in a document

When you add a library item to a page, the actual content is inserted in the document along with a reference to the library item.

To insert a library item in a document:

1. Place the insertion point in the Document window.
2. In the Assets panel (Window > Assets), select the Library category on the left side of the panel.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Drag a library item from the Assets panel to the Document window.

     TIP

     To insert the contents of a library item without including a reference to the item in the document, press Control (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while dragging an item out of the Assets panel. If you insert an item this way, you can edit the item in the document, but the document won’t update when you update pages that use that library item.

   • Select a library item, then click the Insert button at the bottom of the panel.
