Brushes panel overview

The Brushes panel (Window > Brushes) displays brushes for the current file. Whenever you select a brush in a brush

library, it is automatically added to the Brushes panel. Brushes that you create and store in the Brushes panel are

associated only with the current file, which means that each Illustrator file can have a different set of brushes in its

Brushes panel.
