Put gradients in swatch groups, option to make them global, work between Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop
It's a three-in-one suggestion around the entire universe of gradient issues in Adobe software.
A. Why can't we put gradients in swatch group folders? This seems like a very basic feature for swatch organization.

B. Why can't the gradient be global so editing a swatch position or color in the gradient panel moves/changes it across all uses of the gradient relative to the current scale of that gradient?

C. Why can't we save gradient swatches in a way that is shareable between other Adobe software? Available gradient styles are also inconsistent in the Adobe-verse.

TL;DR: I think it's high time we took a holistic look at gradients and their inexplicable limitations across all Adobe software. Thanks!

Don’t you worry! It’s better to have a duplicate to merge rather then keep the team not aware of a simplest thing (and we had a lot like these before UV!)

Apologies for the repeated requests! And thank you for the responses and moderation. I don't mind you adding these at all. Looking forward to trying the new gradient swatch feature.

Marc, please don’t make these as 'three-in-one' :)
UserVoice currently does not allow to split entries into more than two chunks (and just recently it didn’t allow this at all).I agree with most of these, but all three were previously requested and reported:
1. Allow adding Patterns and Gradient swatches to Color Groups — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31389250 — this is already done, and available to test in Beta, please try it and give feedback in comments
2. Make gradient swatches global — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33164479
Actually, they ARE secretly global (and it causes this problem: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/37224865), but it’s poorly exposed and not fully controllable.3. Allow gradient swatches to be added to CC library — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/30997678
Well, Libraries is a great idea but it sinks in the inability of Adobe to get their shit together and make it truly cross-app with the respect to all the apps included. That’s why we need to vote and comment... but not by creating separate requests :DAgain — I really appreciate the activity! But having these as separate entries helps team to prioritize and pick things up. We don’t need more noise, we need more concentrated feedback to get noticed.
Even though these are connected, a granular approach helps. I prefer cross-linking entries.
Would you mind me adding these directly into the main message?
