1. Swatches panel easier cleanup/delete and Recolor Artwork tool

   • Have delete options for swatch library in drop down or drag/drop to trash.

   • Enable delete option in user defined menu to clean up old/saved swatches no longer needed and organize alphabetically or enable us to drag/drop folder within panels for easier regrouping.

   • Also allow swatches folders to drag/drop to other open windows/working open files.

   • Allow us to customize our main Swatch panel without having to delete the AI standard swatches every time (but not delete them either just customize or minimize/hide the preset colors).

   • Recolor tool: enable a way to select a recolor option (or tag multiple options during scrolling) without losing your place or having to restart/re-do the turning on and off of selected colors bars each time. Maybe be able to checkmark image options that it stores in side panel so you're able to go through the whole recolor options without start/stop/reopen/redo etc... then be able to work off your new/saved options. And PLEASE add a go back button to recolor.

   A lot of time is wasted in both issues. It's cluttering up my workspace and not user friendly to clean out my swatches and organize as needed.
   Recolor tool is a great function but slows down in the usage as to have to save a new image, you lose the original and to get back to continuing you have to restart the whole process, especially when choosing to not recolor some colors... having to redo all that is time consuming. Adding a 'back' button will also help all of us who click too fast and skip over a great color option and frustrated to not be able to go back.

   • Also don't freeze the screen when recolor panel opens. Sometimes you need to zoom in to see colors better or movie images around and not being able to have access to moving anything makes one have to start all over, or take extra time making sure your screen is the ideal size/layout before starting recolor. Or make the recolor a large window which puts the image inside the window for easier access to zoom, scroll and interact with image.

   • When you open recolor and use the magnifier to see where each color is located, I can't find a way to get out of that mode, unless I hit the recolor scroll which rearranges my color options. Make it so unclicking pops you back out to where you were wo changing image.

   • When reducing colors in Recolor window (as used in patterns often) it'd be nice for it to update the number of colors live. Currently we have to keep track in our minds, accept and close the window. Reselect image and reopen recolor to know how many colors we are now at. A live updated number would be great or an easier method than having to reselect/reopen just to see the new number. Or perhaps, add a numerical value to the sidebar swatch panel on the side of the recolor window, to show the live change in number of colors during combining/reducing of colors.

2. set pdf content active as helpers/rules when imported

   As it's convenient to keep links to reference file, it's sometimes mandatory to attach/align new shape to points/path of the imported shape.
   but by default the pdf content is not "live". it would be valuable to have this content live as it's possible for Glyphs or symbols...
   Many Thanks

3. file>export>export as... still lists Flash as an option

   How long ago was Flash rebranded to Animate? Five years now?

   The "Flash (SWF)" option in the Export As... dialogue should be "Animate (SWF)".

4. Show slices names

   I'm looking for a simple but very useful option for slices:
   "Show slice name"

   Currently in setting of Illustrator there are only option:
   "Show slice numbers", - file attached.
   But it's doesn't give me anything actually.
   I've created names for each slice and I need to check these names visually, without need to select each slice and goto it slice settings..

5. Identify Newly Installed Fonts in Adobe Illustrator

   Problem:

   Managing large font collections in Adobe Illustrator can be challenging, especially when installing new fonts. With hundreds or even thousands of fonts, identifying recently added ones becomes a tedious task, often requiring manual scrolling and searching through the entire font menu.

   Proposed Solution:

   Implement a feature in Illustrator that allows users to easily identify newly installed fonts. Here are two potential options:

   Filter by Install Date: Add a sorting option within the font menu that displays fonts by their installation date. This would allow users to quickly see the most recently added fonts at the top of the list.

   "New Fonts" Badge: Introduce a temporary visual indicator (badge) next to newly installed fonts within the font menu. This badge would disappear after a designated period (e.g., one week) or upon user interaction (e.g., clicking the font).

   Benefits:

   Improved workflow efficiency by saving time spent searching for new fonts.
   Enhanced organization and management of large font libraries.
   Streamlined font discovery for design projects.
   Additional Considerations:

   The implementation should be lightweight and not impact application performance.
   Users should have the option to disable the badge or sorting by install date if preferred.

   Thank you for considering this feature request. We believe it would be a valuable addition to Adobe Illustrator and significantly improve the user experience for designers working with extensive font collections.

6. Labels on cylinders scaling fails

   When Labels on cylinders are scaled beyond a certain size (relative to object size?), their distortion is wrong

   See attached file and video. The original size of that label is smaller, I have scaled it on the object and it just gets dirtorted at the far edges as soon as it gets too large.

7. Selecting layer selects artboard

   I have been given an icons file that has 100+ icons, each on a separate artboards.

   I can search (finally) for the item in Layers and select it, but it is not selecting or locating the artboard at the same time.

   An alternative to this would be to have a search function on artboards.

8. saveascopy command in Illusrator script

   Please, pretty pleas with sugar on top add SaveAsCopy function to illustrator script. All i need to be happy is to bind a script that allows me to save a copy of specific AI art board(s) as PDF with presets. it is impossible to save copy of document without closing current AI file.
   I work in print and that is the thing illustrator lack for me, one script command... saveCopyAs.
   Why does it matters? because i have tons of print layouts with ton of PDF's to link on aforementioned plates, and i need to sometime go for 3 different export as pdf to get to last print layout... i save a lot of PDFs. Not to even mention small size pdf's that i need to send to clients. There are days that i make the same PDF 7 times before i end with client, and then i do like 2-3 more to have flexo print layout. And after that i have 8 more projects to do. Don't even get mi started on moving something 2mm left and going once after 9 projects and 9 layouts...
   So when i have the change done, I want to be able hit saveAsCopy keybind script, then illustrator will nicely ask me if i want to update linked file on layout, i say yes, hit another saveascopy and he will ask me if i want to make an update on final layout for anilox roller, I say yes, hit save as copy, and I AM DONE. Now 9 more.
   All that this will give mi is Save of time from saving all this files manually by clicking file->Save as Copy. And that is all i really want, the save in time on repeatable tedious action

9. Freezing

   The image does not change. I go to a new tab with a different file and the same image is showing.
   I go to use the Align tab and STILL showing the Layers tab. I have to completely quit illustrator. This has been happening since the update. This is costing me production time. I have to quit illustrator and reopen at least 10 times a day.

10. Return / make optional ability to indicate subfolders in artboard name / path

    In previous versions it was possible to make name of artboard as "folder/subfolder/artboardname" and while export it would reproduce whole hierarchy of subfolders.
    It was super nice for organizing assets.
    Now it saves file in base directory and replaces "/" with "-".
    Maybe we can put this option to settings so that people may continue to use it.

11. Add Embroidery Digitizing Features

    Please add the ability to do embroidery digitizing within this program; including the ability to export in the most common embroidery file types. If not, a standalone program added to Creative Cloud would be greatly appreciated. This would be especially useful on Macs, because there aren't as many software programs that specialize in digitizing as there are on PC.

12. A feature to copy the element as any file format and be able to paste it on any other software we want.

    A feature to copy the elements in Illustrator as format, like if I create an icon I should be able to copy the icon as "SVG" or any other file format and be able to paste in any tool that I suite me. That way I don't have to keep exporting my Icons every time I create one. Figma already have that option. This is valuable for me because I work on multiple tools like Figma and Illustrator and I like to design my own Icons and I don't like Figma for designing my Icons I prefer Illustrator and exporting it every time is bit of a inconvenient to me.

    According to the team, SVG copy/paste was disabled by default as many customers see performance issues on Windows 11 (due to clipboard recorder). It can get enabled back again in Preferences > Clipboard Handling > Include SVG Code.

13. Option to assign chosen profile selection to all open documents in Missing Profile box

    When opening a project, I frequently have to choose either not to colour manage or I have to assign a particular profile to the document due to working with a number of different print houses. As I can sometimes open 10-20 documents at a time to edit them, would it be possible to assign the designated choice to all open documents at the same time, i.e., have a selection box you can tick to 'Apply selected profile option to all open projects'?

    Currently it is really laborious choosing the profile for each individual file as it opens.

14. Remove the "legacy" designation from Save For Web.

    Save For Web was marked as "legacy" when Export For Screens was added, with the implication SFW would be vanishing at some point. It's seven years later and SFW is still around, and still what I use 100% of the time over EFS and the terrible Export As... options.

    Save For Web is a great tool for someone creating art with Illustrator; it lets me quickly and easily adjust the file format and resolution of the generated image for whatever I may need, and uses most of the screen to show me exactly what I'll be getting.

    Export for Screens? It's terrible for my needs. One tiny little thumbnail for each artboard. Or each "asset". Which I guess are useful if you're making user interfaces? I don't do that, I use Illustrator for illustration.

    Export As...? It's even worse. Each file format has a terrible little dialogue box without much consistency between them, and next to no control over the final size - guessing at final pixel size by changing the DPI is utterly absurd to do. It used to be useful, years ago; it used to be as powerful as the dialogue Photoshop gives you when you try to import an AI file. Then the whole UI got rebuilt and that was thrown out in favor of a bunch of dialogues that do the barest minimum effort required. Now it's just a bunch of bad jokes.

    Save For Web is the only one of these options that's really useful to an artist, and you hide it away by saying it's "legacy". Obviously not something anyone should USE.

    Please, do what you have to do to make Save For Web something you don't want to mark as "legacy". Keep it around. Modernize it so you can drop in new file formats as the world decides they're useful. I really do not know what I'd do if you ever did finally follow through on the implicit threat of removing it; exporting stuff would be a huge pain **********.

15. Recolor Artwork flip 2 colors

    Lets say I have Object A (RED) and Object B (Blue) I want A to be Blue and B to be red. I try to find tutorials about it but couldn't find any. I have tryed everything in recolor artwork but its not possible to switch simply two colors (withing a multi-colored design, large file to see different color options quickly)

    This can be done with native Recolor options dialog, just with dragging one chip over the other. Please refer to the comment inside for details.

16. Sort content in links palette + User controlled preflight warnings

    Added sorting ability in links palette would be very useful.
    Allowing me to sort by file size, alpha, date placed, date altered. Similar to finder or windows explorer. Allowing me to rearrange the columns to suit my needs.

    A preflight indicator of any potential conflicts would be a nice add as well.
    CMYK doc with an RGB image placed. Unused nodes swatches, does this doc contain any overprint items, that kind of thing. In a perfect world I could set in prefs what I want warnings for.

17. UNSAVED DOCUMENT ASTERISK - *

    Sometimes we need to know if we changed a document, or if something moved without us realizing it. And the only way to know is to look at that tiny asterisk next to the document file name to see if it was modified.

    My idea is to make that asterisk a little bit bigger, so people can easily spot it. I am attaching a screenshot with a rough concept.

18. Zoom In On Navigator

    Zoom In On Navigator

    1. When I am using the navigator, I'd like to see how certain areas of my document will look when printed. I would like to be able to zoom in on the navigator. See attached file.
    2. This would help me greatly because I could see small changes and large changes, at a better scale, while not making the navigator take up too much space within your layout.

19. Font Family field (and others) in Character panel (and others) doesn’t get resized

    If we dock Character panel together with a panel that can be resized (like Layers), we get the ability to resize both.
    Sound useful if you need to long font names... but this is the filed that doesn’t get resized.

    I don’t really object against the layout of the panel (although it’d benefit from getting reshuffled, adaptive layouts is not a new thing in UI), but perhaps Ai should resize fields at least?

20. Adding overprint toggles in the Separations Preview window

    Currently, the overprint toggles are only in the "Attributes" panel but the overprint preview toggle is in the Separations Preview panel. Including overprint toggles in the Separations Preview panel allows the user to see the overprints in the file and toggle off/on any visible overprints prior to exporting/printing. This would save on workspace real estate by choosing to exclude the Attributes panel solely for overprint toggles.
