1. Change the layer an object is located on

   If you have a large artboard with multiple objects and layers it is really time consuming to organize your layers when all you can do is drag and drop. I think it would be useful if you could right click on an object and "move to layer" like you can in muse.

   Need More Info  ·  AdminNeeraj Nandkeolyar (Sr. Product Manager, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   There is a way – let us know if this works for you.
   - Select the object(s).
   - Highlight the layer you want the selection to go to.
   - Object menu or right-click > Arrange > Send to Current Layer

2. Temporary multi-object alignment without grouping

   In Figma, holding Shift temporarily allows selected objects to be treated as a single unit when performing alignment actions (e.g., aligning to the artboard). This avoids the hassle of grouping and then ungrouping the objects. Can we have the same functionality in Illustrator as well?

3. A mode for Free Transform tool to hug selected points tightly

   Affinity has Transform mode for selected points (see the GIF).
   Figma recently announced a similar thing — https://x.com/figma/status/2018778936482935124

   Illustrator meanwhile allows to use Scale, Rotate, and other dedicated transform tools for a partial selection. No bounding box is allowed when Direct Selection is active.
   We can pick Free Transform and use a familiar frame to transform the partial selection... but this frame hugs the entire object. This can be useful in some cases, but not that handy in others -—like when you need to work with a rather small part of a larger artwork.
   Perhaps there should be a way to may the frame hug the selection snuggly?

4. Please bring back the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026

   My team uses the Adobe cloud to store and share files across the team. Looking up for older files shared is now very inconvenient as the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026 has been removed.

   Please bring it back.

5. Share for Review entire drawing area

   It would be great if you could choose to either share for review in Illustrator artboard by artboard (as exists now) or to share the entire pasteboard/drawing area so a reviewer could see all of the artboards at once. View the file exactly as the author sees it, akin to how Figma does it. Sometimes the finished area is helpful for review. Other times, such as early in the design phase when you're really just ideating, sharing the whole mess makes more sense. I currently screenshot the whole thing, but that makes commenting harder.

   <rect x="150.75" y="18.5726" width="216" height="216.897" fill="#7580FF"/>
   <foreignObject x="-51.0876" y="-51.0876" width="356.218" height="356.218"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="backdrop-filter:blur(25.54px);clip-path:url(#bgblur_0_1_16_clip_path);height:100%;width:100%"></div></foreignObject><circle data-figma-bg-blur-radius="51.0876" cx="127.021" cy="127.021" r="127.021" fill="#FF7575" fill-opacity="0.7"/>
   <defs>
   <clipPath id="bgblur_0_1_16_clip_path" transform="translate(51.0876 51.0876)"><circle cx="127.021" cy="127.021" r="127.021"/>
   </clipPath></defs>
   </svg>
   

   (I'm sympathetic that general <foreignObject> support is nigh impossible 🙂 Figma uses this only for background blurs and angular gradients)

12. Make the Edit in Photoshop button work for multiple links at once

    Suggest adding the ability to make the edit in Photoshop button in the links panel to be able to work for all the selected links at once. Right now, it only works for one link at a time; otherwise, if multiple are selected, the button is greyed out. This will increase productivity as you will not have to select each link one by one.

13. Performance

    Please make huge improvement in performance. I've been working for prints for years but Ai just keep slowing down every version. Even slower than Photoshop. And the canvas so limited. I could only split my design to 4 sizes to get Ai safely working to prevent hang or not responding and plus rasterized the contents.
    How come the actual vector software could not handle so much vector (paths, shapes, etc).
    Hope you make a huge breakthrough in development. Couldn't wait!

16. Background option for thumbnail view when saving vectors, especially white vectors

    When a user goes through the save options on the pop-up window, it would be nice to add a feature that lets one select a background color for the thumbnail image. My reason for this is so my white vector files do not disappear on a white background. That would be great for me as a designer. The real trick would be if this thumbnail could also be viewed by anyone on their computer. White logos and icons I develop are passed off to clients or internal team members. Seeing that thumbnail can eliminate doubt and questions about the image actually being saved.
    If this feature exists, please let me know.

17. Estimate file size before PNG and other formats export

18. Create new document using current document settings

    I would like to be able to create a new document using the current settings in an open document; artboard measurements, bleed, color swatches, etc.

    For example, when I am creating logos I often iterate on multiple artboards until the client is happy with the final output. I would like to then create a new document so that I can copy/paste the final, approved, logo into a new doc so that I have a clean file I can share or link in InDesign documents.

    This could work as either an option in the new document window, or right clicking an artboard and having the option to "create new document from artboard"

19. Move artboards with the Selection Tool the same as Photoshop

    In Photoshop, artboards can be moved simply by selecting the artboard name above the artboard. The same functionality would be useful in Illustrator, instead of having to select the Artboard Tool.

20. Make permanent artboard captions displayed on top when using Artboard Tool / mode

    In Ai 2026 (build 30) a new option was presented, 'Show Artboard name on canvas', in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, enabled by default, following this request:
    Provide an option for making artboard names / numbers visible on the artboard (like when editing artboards), https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/40405873

    While it’s great and all, these new subtle captions replace the old 'label' ones we used to get when enabling Artboard tool / mode... and these new captions are rendered BELOW the artwork, even when I specifically want to deal with artboards, not artwork.
    These should appear on top when using Artboard Tool, and I’d say these should be old-style labels with clear distinct backgrounds. Gray text of new-style labels is barely seen on gray backgrounds I use a lot.

    Why do we need to see the numbers and labels above art?
