How to change objects at the same time in fireworks?

Question

I haven't used Adobe Fireworks in a long time, but today I have used it again to try create some object. Anyway, I remember that when I last used fireworks there was something you can do so that if you copy an object such as a circle or a rectangle then when you change the new object's color or size then the old object changes as well. As I said I havn't used fireworks for a long time and I don't remember if this property is in fireworks or in some other application.

Do anyone know if this property exists in fireworks?

Thank you.

What you are looking for is Convert to symbol feature. Right click on the desired shape or a selection of multiple shapes > Convert to symbol. Then make a copy of the symbol. Double click on any copy to enter edit mode. Any changes will be applied to all copies in real time.
