Save a shape to the shapes library in Pages on Mac
If you created or customised a closed-path shape, you can save it to the shapes library. When you save a custom shape, the shape’s path, flip and rotation properties are saved; size, colour, opacity and other properties aren’t.
If you’re signed in to the same Apple Account on all your devices and have iCloud Drive turned on, your custom shapes are available in any Pages document on all your devices (but not in Pages for iCloud).
Go to the Pages app
on your Mac.Open a document with a custom shape.
Click the custom shape to select it, then choose Format > Shapes and Lines > Save to My Shapes (from the Format menu at the top of your screen).
The shape is saved in the My Shapes category of the shapes library, which appears only when you have custom shapes. Shapes appear in the library in the order you create them; you can’t change this order.
Type a name for the shape in the field that appears below it or click the name to change it.
To delete a custom shape, Control-click it in the shapes library, then choose Delete Shape.
Important: If you’re using iCloud Drive, deleting a custom shape deletes it from all your devices that use iCloud Drive and are signed in to the same Apple Account.
