Unable to export asset
I am unable to collect and export an asset as I used to in the previous version of Illustrator. Please see the attached screen shot. I select the group in the layers panel, then I click on Object > Collect For Export > As Single Asset, then I choose 600dpi or 300dpi and I get the pop up error in the attached screenshot. Previously, I was able to do this successfully without issue.

Save As Crash
Illustrator is crashing constantly when trying to "Save As" after updating to v23.1. Optimizing for slow networks feature is disabled. Crash occurs after choosing the location to save the file. Illustrator hangs for about 2-3 seconds before the crash window pops up. Save as works immediately after launching the program but occurs again later on.

Saved a file in the new version with 2 layers, one layer went missing when I opened it in 23.1.1 version (the previous version). The same applies to PDF files.
Please advise as this is so important for our printing process.

Cannot use the Script in Illustrator 20 for Mac to create PDFs
I used to save all my ai files in Illustrator as PDFs and SVGs using the SaveDocsAsPDF and SaveDocsasSVG. The SVGs work but the when I go to open up the PDFs I get the error message attached. So now I have to go into each ai file and save it manually as a pdf. It takes a lot of time when you ave 30+ files.

File Save Incomplete?
I was working on a file for about 8 hours yesterday and was continuously saving it. The autosave was also triggering throughout my work.
However, when I started Illustrator today, the file is completely unchanged from its state on Monday. The thumbnail in the Home menu shows my progress from last night, but the file itself only contains the old data.
There have been no other save issue on that disk. I was able to save an XD file's progress in the same directory — at the same time — last night (shown in attachment) before shutting down my PC.

Google Backup and Sync (aka Google Drive) locks Illustrator files and saving fails unless I quit Backup and Sync.
This happens intermittently but frequently. Google support assures me this is not caused by them, though I don't believe it. Still, is there anything that can be done from Adobe's side?

saving as an svg file, the part that should be the path tag is output as an ellipse tag.
operating system
MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave- Draw an ellipse.
- Duplicate vertically.
- “Intersect” in the path finder.
- Save as svg file.
- When viewed with a web browser, the left and right sides are rounded. It should be sharp. I looked inside the svg file with a text editor, the part that should be the "path" tag is the "ellipse" tag.
Until Illustrator CC 2017, there is no problem because it is output with the "path" tag. Since Illustrator CC 2018 and later, it will be an "ellipse" tag, so the shape will be broken.

Illustrator Not Holding Clipping Masks
Hello. I'm not sure if this is just an "operator error" or if this is a bug in the new Illustrator 2020, but every time I reopen my AI file the clipping masks have been removed. Is there a fix for this? It started happening when I updated to 2020.
Thanks in advance!

Multiple Users Open Same File and Overwrite Work
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
When I have a file open, my coworker can open the file and does not get notified that the file is already opened or locked. He can work in the file and save, and it overwrites my version. Then when I go to save, I get notified that the file was 'modified outside of Illustrator, do I want to continue?" If you click yes, it overwrites his work and his work is lost. Is this a bug that it does not indicate that the file is already open by another user?1 vote -
