Keep the organizational structure of Libraries the same between Adobe apps
I have put a lot of work organizing my libraries in Photoshop it would be nice if that organization structure would translate across all Adobe apps with libraries. Not have to organize my assets again in every program.

Unnecessary rectangles upon embedding from the Library
After embedding an object from the library, it appears a transparent outline around the object itself. This creates issues while exporting in DWG for instance, but also in the drawing modification in Illustrator, as we have to remove manually this outline object by object

There should be a way to link an artboard from a file in a CC Library as you can do when linking from a local file.

Make it possible to actually open Cloud Docs....
The idea of cloud docs is wonderful, but the reality is intensely frustrating.
File created in the studio; a simple text logo. Retun home need to make a change. Impossible to open.
"Make file available offline" Done. Still impossible to open.
Identical version of Illustrator on both Macs. Multiple occurrences. It has happened in reverse too
Workaround > Store files on a disk. Transfer manually. (Not what Adobe want to hear!)
I should add that this a a regular problem on PS too, so a broader Creative Cloud, issue. Oh and the internet connection is Gigabit, so not a speed…

Recently Added Items
Hi. My name is Reza Alavi, Design Manager in XBOX design studio Microsoft. We use Adobe Illustrator as our base software for illustration and we recently started using the cloud library which is really great. However we have a suggestion to add a feature that might help us a lot. It would be awesome to have a view of libraries of "recently added items"
Right now there is a filter for "date modified" but it's not clear what items were added/modified, just a resorting of the library lists.
This would help us to know what new items are added recently…

Content of Library assets do not show in Outline Mode
The content (paths, type, etc.) of Library assets do not shot in Outline Mode (CMD+Y).
This makes them difficult/impossible to work with precisely or in complicated artwork.

Drag a layer onto the Library panel
After converting an image to outlines with Image Trace then expanding it I wanted to drag this onto the library... it did not let me.
I would assume the same functionality as copy and paste into Photoshop when when I drag it on the library it would ask if i want it to be smart object, or bitmap etc..

Allow for graphics placed from CC Library to be expanded and converted to curves
Right now, when you place a vector from the CC Library, you can't use it as if it were a vector created on the spot. This hinders speed of creation and prevents 2 crucial things:
- You can't change colors of the vector without editing the original CC item
- You can't use it with pathfinder for a print job for example (imagine you want to cut a shape out of PVC or something). Right now, to do this, you must double click the library item, copy and paste it on your document.
Altough it might not seem much work, if, for…
2 votesYou can drag an asset with the Alt/Opt key held to embed it instead of placing.
However, please note a PDF-copy of an asset is used, and not the original artwork you had imported into a Library, which means the embedded copy can have extra clipping masks and expanded effects.

Library disappear glitch
Had this issue in the past and it still comes up. Libraries disappear from my workspace when I click tab or some combination of keys that I'm not sure of. Before, I used to have to shut down Ai altogether but at least now I can go to the drop down menu to retrieve them. This shouldn't happen in the first place though.

Allow to drag CC Library items directly to Asset Export panel
I've just finished dragging 24 logo variations to the CC libraries pane and named each individually.
Now I want to export each of these in various formats, but I can't drag directly from the CC Libraries pane to the Asset Export pane.
Instead, I have to rename every single one manually when dragging all 24 into the asset export pane.
What a pane!

Sort out functionality of library assets
Seems a lot of people are struggling with Library assets for various reasons. I think this feature is massively under developed for what should be a great strength across Adobe applications. I still have Illustrator V17 in use as the Library works better than the current version for me, so my subscription is wasted money. I've complained before but to no avail. I create many line drawings with common line segments, so I drag these in from the Library, which creates consistency and should be time saving. Currently each one option-dragged no longer remembers the layer it came from and…

CreativeCloud history backup for lost files.
What if we have a Cloud history for any step we make in Adobe products to backup if we lost the file or don't save in accident? like Time Machine. I want to revive lost updates that I didn't save.

Please included library "groups" when sharing library. When shared everything is appearing ungrouped. A problem on large projects.
When I go to creative cloud and view my shared library, I expect to see it organized they way I have organized it in illustrator. I have organized it in a way that makes it easy for my team to find what they need. Currently when I share my library everything is appearing ungrouped which is a problem. I'm attaching the number of groups that I have in my shared library as an example and a screen capture from creative cloud. In illustrator you can "View by Group" which is how I have organized my assets. On creative cloud there…

Fix the Libraries issue in all Apps
I've noticed that this issue goes back a few years and I haven't found one fix that's permanent. It notifies me that I need to sign in even though I already am.

Keeping same values as original files (ai)
Working on repetitive files with slight copy change is nice to store in the libraries. I enjoy the quick and easy access to the files. But they do not retain the same value as originally dragged into the libraries. The measurements are converted to pixels. The bleed and art board values are consolidated. It would be nice to store all values from AI into the libraries.
Thank you!2 votes -
Add multiple fills to a CC Library at once.
I think it would be really nice if you could select multiple shapes and add their separate fills into a CC Library. Helpful when making color palettes and things.
