    Hi all,
    After my question on the community and following a suggestion from Laura Coyle, I post my request.

    I turn visuals (most of them with Pantone color ref) that are provided to me into symbols to take advantage of the flexibility and security they offer.

    I've just realized that when I turn a visual into a symbol (without keeping the visual in its original form) and ask to select the unused colors (in the color palette), the constituent colors of the symbol are considered unused.

    In order to lighten my many files, I run a script that eliminates what is not used (including nuances) so I end up with files with visuals without color information.

    As the symbols are actually in use on the artboard, it should include those in "used" colors

    Thanks in advance
