Borrow Swatches from Another Document?

If you’ve created some custom color swatches in another document, you can borrow those swatches—the whole collection—and import them into your new or current document. Go to your Swatches panel, open the panel menu, and select Load Swatches. In the Open a File dialog, navigate to the document that contains the swatches you want to use, and click Open. The swatches from that document will be loaded into the Swatches panel for your currently open document and you can start using them straight away. As always, I recommend saving your swatch collections for future use (see page 149) in case you lose the documents in which they are stored.
