Drag an Appearance

If you have created an appearance and want to apply the same look to a different object, here's a simple solution. Select the object whose appearance you want to use (in our example, we used an outlined blue and green oval) and click-and-drag its small preview thumbnail from the Appearance palette onto the other object(s) on the artboard (in our example, we dragged it onto the words Speed Clinic). If you don't see the preview, choose Show Thumbnail from the Appearance palette's flyout menu.
