To create a symbol, there are just a few steps to take, a few new tools to learn, and a few important things to remember. So, let's dive right in by turning one of the elements already in your wireframe project into a symbol. Perform the following steps for doing so:

project_mockup_1.bmml
from thebalsamiq_project_files

wireframe_header
, as shown in the following screenshot...
