    Design Review enables you to rename, delete, export, and import custom symbol catalogs. Export your custom symbols as a symbol catalog file enables you to place the symbol catalog file in a central location or distribute it by email. Team members and clients can then import the symbol catalog file, ensuring that they have symbols identical to your own.

    NoteYou cannot remove an individual symbol directly from a catalog. You can only delete an entire symbol catalog.
