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.

Select a library item in a document.
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.
