Delete a library item from a library
When you delete a library item, Dreamweaver removes it from the library but doesn’t change the contents of any
documents that use the item.
1 In the Assets panel, select the Library category .
2 Select the library item.
3 Either click the Delete button or press the Delete key, then confirm that you want to delete the item.
Note: If you delete a library item, you can’t use Undo to retrieve it. You may be able to recreate it, however.
Recreate a missing or deleted library item
1 Select an instance of the item in one of your documents.
2 Click the Recreate button in the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
Customize highlighting of library items
You can customize the highlight color of library items and show or hide highlighting by setting Highlighting
preferences.
Change the highlight color of library items
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 Select the Highlighting category from the list on the left of the Preferences dialog box.
3 Click the Library Items color box, then select a highlight color using the color picker (or enter the hexadecimal color
value in the text box).
4 Select Show to display the highlight color in the Document window.
5 Click OK.
To show or hide highlighting in the Document window
❖ To show highlighting, select View > Visual Aids > Invisible Elements. To hide highlighting, deselect Invisible
Elements.
Edit the properties of a library item
You can use the Property inspector to open a library item for editing, detach a selected library item from its source file,
or overwrite an item with the currently selected library item.
1 Select a library item in a document.
2 Select one of these options in the Property inspector (Window > Properties):
Src Displays the filename and location of the source file for the library item. You can’t edit this information.
Open Opens the library item’s source file for editing. This is equivalent to selecting the item in the Assets panel and
clicking the Edit button.
Detach From Original Breaks the link between the selected library item and its source file. You can edit the detached
item in the document, but it’s no longer a library item and isn’t updated when you change the original.
Recreate Overwrites the original library item with the current selection. Use this option to re-create library items
if the original library item is missing or has been accidentally deleted.
