While the reference focuses on military symbology, the concept of a Favorites collection exists in ArcGIS Pro for various symbology types, though the exact method of adding may differ depending on where you are accessing the symbols (e.g., from a style file, from a layer's symbology properties). The described method is specific to the Military Symbology Editor environment.
