Remove Text to Vector from Properties panel
Would like an option to remove it from Properties panel as it sometimes opens on its own after I have closed it and it impedes my workflow having to close it again because it obstructs actually useful things Properties panel.
We have released an update (version 28.6) which takes care of this particular ask. Please upgrade your Illustrator application to latest versions and let us know your feedback.

Why does the section need to be in the properties panel. What has it to do with properties of a document?
As a scientist using your products to generate Illustrations for scientific publications I would like to stick to factual content. If I need properties of a document, I expect properties and don't expect an Ai to create a graphic. Since I also cannot rely on an AI for factual content I might never need it for my purposes, so I would welcome an option to be able to remove it from the panel.
The recent additions and bloated state of any Adobe products (specifically from all changes from 2023 to the recent 2024 versions) make me desperately look into professional alternatives of Adobe products as they hamper productivity and efficiency. The lack of essential options are actually the reason to be pushed out of Adobes product line. Why are tool tip pop-ups so intrusive? Why do most products hide the option to remove them or don't have them at all (Acrobat DC). Hand-holding your professional customer all the time as if they are dumb feels actually insulting.
Sorry for that rant...it's just disappointment of the development off the products I used to like. -

I don't really agree with the existence of the feauture in the first place, and having it hamfisted in the properties tab, pushing down functions from the place we where already used to, that are more likely to be used by most of Illustrator's users, and slowing down out workflow is in my opinion a very poor choice from whoever is in charge of UI/UX. Please move it to it's own tab, so at least those of us who do not agree with the inclusion of AI on Adobe products don't have the need to see it and go around it to acces the functions that are trully useful.

Seeing this feature that no artist I know asked for shoved down our throats in the properties panel is really deeply upsetting. Might have to look for alternatives to Adobe. I use Illustrator as a professional designer and artist, not a hack trying to steal other people's artwork with scraping tools. Like, is my art getting fed into your models without my knowledge? Are you pilfering the work of millions of artists to create this...stuff?

Egor or anyone at Adobe again why is Text to Vector graphic (beta) section in the Properties panel ? Its not a property.

Paul, the section is collapsible, you can minimize it, effectively making it just a 'button'.
What makes you want to hide it completely, if that’s what you are asking about? -
