Allow gradient swatches to be added to CC library
It's great to have colors in the cc library but why can't those colors be gradients too? Please allow us to add gradient swatches to the cc library. Thanks

We have released the support for Gradient swatches in CC library with our latest release - v29.3
You can select the gradient swatch in swatches panel and add it to CC Library through the button on the bottom bar in the panel. You can also select any object which has gradient applied and add that gradient to CC Library through Add Elements from the Libraries panel and choose Fill Gradient from the drop-down menu.
Please update to this version from your Creative Cloud Desktop application and let us know your feedback.

Go to swatches > click the 3 lines icon (upper right) > Choose "Open Swatch Library" from the dropdown menu > there, you'll see all the color libraries

On the topic of gradients, any tools tips to recreate the appearance of a gradient in AI to PS or vice versa, e.g if you create a logo in AI with a gradient and want to use it in PS

Come on Adobe, this is an obvious requirement.

Yes, please! Colors can, but why gradient cannot? Oh c'mon on Adobe!!!!

I have just tried this several times and spent two days trying to figure out how to do this. I even contacted adobe about this and their support said it cannot be done. Out of frustration i kept trying many things. I decided to close out both indesign and illustrator. Created new files etc. Still no avail. I then copied the gradient object from illustrator and went into indesign and selected edit menu then "paste into place". it worked!

So obviously needed. Grads should be allowed in folders, libraries and exports. Why in 2019 are they treated like 4th class citizens! Grads are lovely, essential beings. Let's give 'em some love. :-)

This really needs to be implemented. Still not available

You can work around it with cloud libraries: create a rectangle, fill it with your gradient and add that to your library elements. Not ideal, but when in a pinch...

Hey guys - are there any workarounds or possibilities to add these gradients to the libraries... This an really annoying "non-feature" :/ I spent over 40mins about trying it...

This really would help my workflow.

It never occurred to me that this wouldn't be possible until I tried to do it today. WOW.

This is such an obvious feature, I hope it will be added soon because I too need to use a workaround now.

My current workaround is to have objects to which the gradients are applied in a file. When i nee the gradients, I copy those objects in and can transfer the gradients. It might be possible to push those objects into the graphic cloud library and in doing so build a kind of gradient swatch replacement that can be referenced from anywhere.
Needless to say, a proper storage option would be a LOT better.

This would save me so much time! I've developed several work arounds when using custom gradients for particular clients (they need to remain consistent, so trying to recreate it everytime I need it in a new document is not a safe option), but none of my work arounds really save me any time. It would be great if gradients could be added to the CC Libraries AND color themes. Having this feature would GREATLY improve the workflow process.

Really? I guess I just spent at least 30 minutes trying to figure out how to do something that isn't even possible. Never occurred to me that that is not a feature. Very odd.

How is this not implemented yet?

would love this feature!

This will be a useful time-saving feature that will also aid in providing consistency for branded art & design works.
