Allow gradient swatches to be added to CC library

It's great to have colors in the cc library but why can't those colors be gradients too? Please allow us to add gradient swatches to the cc library. Thanks

We have released the support for Gradient swatches in CC library with our latest release - v29.3

You can select the gradient swatch in swatches panel and add it to CC Library through the button on the bottom bar in the panel. You can also select any object which has gradient applied and add that gradient to CC Library through Add Elements from the Libraries panel and choose Fill Gradient from the drop-down menu.

Please update to this version from your Creative Cloud Desktop application and let us know your feedback.

    Agreed, please allow the adding of gradients. Thanks.

    Es wäre äußerst wünschenswert, diese Funktion zu implementieren. Bei einem aktuellen Projekt wäre dies sehr hilfreich

    Yes Please! Setting up a gradient can take quite awhile. It would be great to be able to save them.

    Please keep calm, Adobe still needs to review it - meanwhile keep those payments coming.

    It's absolutely ridiculous that gradients can't be added to CC library. FIX. IT. NOW.

  • gazoris commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think that option is a necessity!

    WORKAROUND: create a color swatch set with all gradients and add the graphic as a group to the library. when this is placed in a new document, all color gradients are added to the new doc.

    could be easier, but it could be worse

    Agreed! Just started trying to use the CC libraries tool and can't add gradients...issue for me right out of the gate.

    I'm really missing this feature at the moment. Working on a big project with lots of graphics. I'd like to add as well that I'm missing the ability to add gradients to a color collection, which also makes no sense from a user perspective. Thank you for taking this into consideration.

    Seems like a big oversight... adding my voice in favor of implementation. Thanks!

    Gradient swatches should be able to be saved in CC libraries and moved across products.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't believe this still hasn't been implemented.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    And yes, yes, yes. Add this please.
