==Editing a Part's Symbol from Workshop==
To edit a part's symbol from the Workshop, right click on the part's symbol in the schematic and select "Edit Symbol..." from the contextual menu. Or select the part first and then select "Symbol Operations > Edit Symbol..." from [[Schematic Editor]]'s Edit Menu. Either way, the Symbol Editor opens up in a new window. As mentioned earlier, the appearance of the Symbol Editor in the Workshop is slightly different than the one in the Device Editor. The Workshop's Symbol Editor has a vertical toolbar on the left side that contains all the drawing tools. It also has a horizontal toolbar at the top which contains many additional buttons for graphical operations like group/ungroup, set line and fill colors, etc. Aside from the interface appearance, the functionality of the Workshop's Symbol Editor is mostly the same as the Device Editor's.
In the Workshop, you have to decide whether to save your changes locally or globally. In Symbol Editor's File Menu, you will find three items: "Store to Part Instance in Circuit", "Store to All Parts Using This Symbol in Circuit", and "Store to Database". The first option stores the modified symbol into the current project file only for the edited part, while the second option saves and updates the modified symbol for all the parts of the same type or even other parts in your current circuit project that share the same symbol just modified. The third option will also save and store the modified symbol into the Parts Database and make the change permanent for this project and all other projects in the future that will use the same symbol. However, keep in mind that the database changes are not retroactive and do not affect previously saved projects.
