How do I rename or edit a color palette?

A saved palette stays editable. Rename it as a project takes shape, and change its colors when the direction shifts.

Rename a palette

1. Open the palette. Open Library from the rail, select Palettes, and open the palette.
2. Choose Rename. Open the file menu and choose Rename. The name becomes editable.
3. Save the name. Type the new name and press Enter, or click away.

Edit the colors

1. Open the palette. Open Library from the rail, select Palettes, and open the palette.
2. Select Edit. Select Edit (the pen) at the top of the file card.
3. Change the swatches. Select a swatch to recolor it, hover a swatch and use Add color or Remove color, or drag swatches to reorder them.
4. Save your changes. Select Save changes to this file. To keep the original, open the menu next to it and choose Save as a new copy. Select Cancel to discard your changes.

Remove a palette

To set a palette aside, choose Archive from the file menu. To delete it, choose Move to bin. See How do I delete and restore files?.
