Fastest way to move brushes between .ai files?

Question

What is the fastest way to move a brush over from the Brushes panel of one .ai file into the brushes panel of the other?

Thanks, but this is the long way of doing it.

This is the short way, I just remembered (because i did it once previously):

I open the .ai file where I want to move the brushes, then I open the other .ai file as a brush library from my brushes panel, so I will get 2 brushes tab opened in the same .ai file.

When you click on a brush in the second brushes tab, it will be pinned to the first.

You can save them in a user defined folder than you can access later from any other .ai document:

Select the brushes needed and click on the menu to access "save brush library"

name the library and keep it somewhere safe, and when you want to load the brushes to a new document:
Click on the "library" icon at the bottom of the brushes panel, and go to "user defined"
(The icon looks like a bookshelf)

There is a quick tutorial I made you may find helpful...
