How to Add an Object to a Palette

  1. Open a custom palette that you have created, or a linked palette (not a factory palette).
  2. Open an image and right-click the object you want to add to the palette.
  3. In the context menu, select Add to Palette. The object is added to the Palettes window pane.
  4. (Optional) You can rearrange the order of the objects in the Palettes window pane by clicking and dragging the objects up or down.

Note Objects can be added only to custom palettes that you have created or to linked palettes. They cannot be added to read-only factory palettes.

Note If a palette or profile is saved to a common location, such as a network drive, any user who links to the file can make changes to it. When other users save their changes, you will see the changes in your copy of Capture. Linking to external profiles and palettes is a good way to be sure that other members of your team always have the most current version of the file.

However, because any user can make changes, it is possible to easily overwrite a file with undesired edits. You may want to designate one team member to manage all edits to profiles and palettes to prevent unwanted changes.
