Search items on canvas within Layer panel
Hi, it's hard to find a certain path/vector art assets from the layers menu if the list is super long. My suggestion for the search function is when you click the asset on the art board, you can simply hover your mouse over the layer's list and click e.g. ',' (comma) and it shows you the right art asset from the layers' dropdown list.
Thank you
1 voteIllustrator offers a way to locate a selected object on canvas in Layers — with the Locate button at the bottom of the panel (the magnifying glass icon). If you have several objects selected, the topmost one would be scrolled to.
There is a separate request to make this function work automatically.
Another request asks for a hotkey for the button.

Nodal Interface for Actions Creation
Similar to 3DCC software and video compositing software, I would like to see a nodal interface where we could add different menu items and specific actions into a tree and have them end in an output node, allowing reuse of specific actions and menu items within the tree in a single action.
I'd also recommend there to be a way to group some of the nodes and be reusable/ able to add them into other action node trees as subgroups. That way some very complicated actions could be recycled instead of always being recreated from scratch.

Improve resolution of dock panels so they're the same as other Adobe apps
The resolution of the dock panels (Layers, Art boards, Character etc) are all a lot bigger than in other Adobe apps, please make these the same size as the other apps.
I have a second screen with all relevant dock panels opened. If they were the same resolution as PS/ID then more could fit on the screen.1 vote -
Closing project "x" positioning
Please put the "x" on the project tab either on the left of the, or make all tab widths the same width. This would be valuable because if I want to close multiple open projects, I wouldn't have to jump around with my mouse to try and catch the "x".

Take off the text on the Home Screen
Take off the text that says things like "Let's Design Great Graphics Today, [Your Name]"
It is very irritating to a designer to get a pep talk from his software. It comes across as patronizing.
It discourages use of the software because it is irritating. Please make this minor cosmetic adjustment and either take off the text completely, or simply say "Welcome to Illustrator."
Thank you

Option to define layer/ sublayer behavior
Every time I open an old file all the sub-layers are collapsed
Even though a lot of people wish for the option to auto collapse the sub-layers, I personally work a lot with them expanded.
Hence my wish to have the option to set the behavior of the layers with sub-layers either auto-opened or collapsed (or as saved like last edit)

Move "Share on Behance" and "Save for Microsoft Office" and add Quick Export
I do a lot of "rapid fire" exporting as I work mostly on card games in Illustrator. So a small change on 50-75+ cards requires me to (File, Export, PNG, Use Art Board, Overwrite, PNG Options, Ok) 50-75 times. Most annoyingly in this process, is when my hand slips and I click on Share on Behance or Save for Microsoft Office when I'm trying to Export. I think these options should be moved to their own category under "File" because I've never exported straight to Behance (I always export then upload separately if at all) and Save for Microsoft Office…

Include all Live Corners dialog options in Properties panel
The Live Corners dialog button on the Control bar is the only way to precisely adjust the radius, rounding, and corner type of multiple corners in a non-rectangular object. I see no reason why these settings shouldn’t be included in the Properties panel.
This functionality can’t even be accessed via the menu bar or a keyboard shortcut.
Keeping the top control bar open (which is no longer even activated by default in the Essentials workspace) for just that one button is a waste of space, since just about everything else displayed in the Control bar is now displayed in the…

Adobe Illustrator User Interface Auto Rotation
Wacom Computers, MS Surface, and I'm super several others can use windows auto rotation feature. Photoshop works fine with it, but Adobe Illustrator (even in touch workspace) just doesn't want to rotate the UI to portrait mode for some reason.
It wouldn't be that horrible, or there was at least a manual button to rotate the user interface... But even that doesn't exist.
Please, please, please add UI auto rotation to Adobe Illustrator.1 vote -
Please make cursor track wider when moving to selection list menus
On a laptop, the Illustrator screen is very detailed. The screenshot shows how, when object>transform has been selected, it is necessary to hold down the mouse button and slide the mouse so that the cursor is guided down a very narrow blue track. If you stray off after careful steering to almost the end, you have to start again. Why not make the blue track much wider, so that you do not have to exert such close manual control? You could , for example, make the track expand in width as it extends from the start box to the end…

Adobe Stock info available in-app
It would be really helpful to have access in-app to complete information for Adobe Stock Assets, especially the content creator, so that I can credit the image properly in my work. Perhaps a re-tool of the info available in the Libraries panel would be the best way, or even an "i" icon over the image next to the purchase icon?

Hide or gray out panels on second screen, if InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. is in background / currently not in use.
When I am working with 2 or 3 or more Adobe Programs at same time, I have all the panels from all the programms on a second screen. If just one programm is open, then it is fine. But if there are more Adobe Programs running like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and so on at same time, the screen is full of panels. There are no way to distinguish which panel belongs to which program. That disturbs the workflow. Back in the time of Windows XP and CS products, the panels of the Programs that were not currently used were grayed…

Newly added item/layer place on layer above rather than below
when designer designs a page, it is natural to design from top to bottom. But currently when I add a new item on a page, Illustrator create a new layer ABOVE my last item/layer, and it makes things hard to find and hard to organize. If we can reverse the order of a new layer created, to match a natural work flow, it would be extremely helpful. Please see the screenshot on what I mean.
