Save a Graphic Style in CC Library with a right-click or from the Graphic Styles panel
It's a huge waste of time to save Graphic Styles as a .ai file when it would be so simple to save Graphic Styles in the CC Library to centralize everything across hundreds of docs.
Having to locate a file and open it and locate the element and select the Graphic Style and drag it from the Appearance Panel to the Graphic Styles window and then saving it to a file is an incredibly long and cumbersome process.
Right-clicking an object and "Save Object Style to CC Library" would allow a user to discard a file if they don't need it anymore but save the Graphic Styles contained quickly and effectively.

It would be extremely useful to be able to add Illustrator Graphic Styles directly to Creative Cloud Libraries.
Graphic Styles are essential for maintaining consistent line weights and appearances across documents, especially in teams working with technical, scientific or corporate standards.
Currently, Graphic Style Libraries must be manually loaded by each user, and updates to the original library are not automatically synchronized. This makes maintaining a shared graphic standard difficult and can lead to different versions being used within the same team.
Ideally, users should be able to:
- add Graphic Styles directly to a shared Creative Cloud Library;
- apply them directly from the Library;
- automatically receive updates when a shared Graphic Style is modified.This would make Creative Cloud Libraries a much more effective tool for maintaining shared and consistent graphic standards across teams.

I was sure someone already requested it, bit nope, this seems to be the only request here!
The current workaround with libraries is to store an object with a style applied, but it’s as cumbersome as using a local library.
I personally love local presets and manage them bypassing libraries, but I totally agree Ai should support this.
