Check out Creating Cutsom Lbject Libraries in the online User Manual. You can find it in the Contents tab under "Using 3D Objects>Creating Custom Objects and Animations>Creating Custom Object Libraries".

Sorry, I see how to add new libraries and objects... but what about flowitems? I have made a custom pallet and gaylord(tote) and want to save them but cant.

@Maxim H in the flowitem bin if you right click on the object itself ( in the 3d view) there is an option to add the object to a userlibrary

Briefly I comment how to custom the flowitem.

You can use the flowitem bin like above to make your item customized.

Click + icon in the Flowitem and can select the menu of New Basic Flowitem - Box and New Container Flowitem - Tote or Pallette.

You can change the shape to your designed 3d file shape and size.
