Creating and modifying instances
An instance is linked to the symbol used to create it. If you modify the symbol,
the instance is modified as well.
You can release an instance from its symbol to use the instance as an unlinked
object. You can also transform an instance or associate a URL to an instance using
the Transform and Navigation panels. For more information, see “Attaching URLs
to objects and text” on page 373 and “Transforming objects” on page 216.
To create an instance, do one of the following:
• Drag a symbol from the Library panel to your document.
• Copy and paste or duplicate an existing instance.
