I used to think that brackets around an item in things like the Swatches panel, text and object styles, stroke styles, etc meant that the item could not be modified.
That certainly is the case with the swatch for the color [Black].
But I recently discovered that the [Default] document setup can be modified so that Facing Pages is turned off.
That’s when I realized that brackets around an item in a panel or dialog box means that the [item] can’t be deleted.
That’s all.
