I use the Symbol Library like I breath oxygen. I have hundreds of everyday symbols. I use symbols on my office PC and my home PC. Now usually there isn't a problem but for some reason my home PC will no longer load any symbols in the symbols docker. I don't know what happened. It shows the folder I selected by nothing underneath.

As you can see Mek has a macro. In my semi-retired world I have time to explore features that in the past I've only moderately used so I'm going to explore the symbols in more detail.
The interest I have is with the multi page view in the pages docker, symbols seem more versatile than clones but I understand both sides of the linked library argument. I don't know if the could build in a reload library feature into the docker or not.
I like it as it is as my past use for symbols has been in creating maps and way finding materials.
I believe the macro is your only choice.
I'll have to revisit that. I think at the time I tried all of that and it didn't work as I had hoped. Thank you.
