Allow to locally customize the assets from CC library within a document, similar to components in Figma
I'm working for a company who makes workwear and we're having an issue with the creative cloud library.
We've made al of these symbols in the creative cloud libraries, but we've seen that we can't manipulate these in 1 document.
For example, we're making a coat.
First we take the front out of the library, then the sleeves and a pocket.
We see that it is impossible to change these objects in this new document.
These drawings from the library are added in the document like pictures, that's why we can't colour them for example.
We obviously don't want to change the symbol in the library, because that would change all the files where it is in.
Maybe it's interesting to add an option like this in Illustrator, there would be much more possibilities in the future.

I wish CC library + user defined symbols were integrated and mirror Figma Components Libraries, with the ability to sync assets across users/documents.
Figma also gives their components (tied to library) their own unique look so users can clearly see this item is tied to the library, without having to open/edit the asset.
Would be great to also have version control/approvals tied to the assets.
