Symbols? How to manage these is a fundamental issue for project management.
Hierarchical sub-schematics? Variation? I have one project where one of the boards has two variants to accommodate different image sensors, but some of the schematic pages are shared between the variants. Collaborative design? For my VLSI design, I combine (hierarchically) gEDA schematics from Osaka University with my own and also include netlists from OpenIP. Here, I like the directory structure to reflect ownership of the IP.
