The Library panel stores animation, graphic, and button symbols that you create in the current document. It also stores symbols that you import into the current document. The Library panel is specific to the current document, but you can use the symbols from one library in more than one Fireworks document by importing and exporting, cutting and pasting, or dragging and dropping.

You can import symbols from other libraries, including libraries containing symbols prepared in Adobe Fireworks and libraries containing symbols that you or someone else previously exported. Conversely, if you have created symbols that you would like to reuse or share, you can export your own symbol libraries. When you export a symbol library, it is exported as a PNG file.
