Library not updating once stock asset is purchased
I have had a recurring issue for at least 18 months now (and across several updates of Illustrator). I use previews of stock images on drafts of layouts and then when I purchase the chosen image - clicking on the cart icon on the image in the Library panel, completing purchase - the preview image does not updated to a licensed image. I have to go into my account via a web browser, navigate to licensed images, download the file and manually drag it into my library. The cloud icon at the bottom left of the Library panel says it's…

Can't Delete User Defined Swatches
I can't seem to find a way to delete my user defined swatches (or brushes) from the adobe library. Even when i look in my Mac Library folder I can't find where they are stored to delete them that way. I've tried saving over them with new ones by the same name but that just duplicated them. It would be nice if there was an easier way to organize + delete swatches, but I feel like Adobe makes a lot of features unnecessarily complicated.

PMS LAB swatch in Library changes to CMYK when used
I’m having issues with my Pantone swatch in Adobe Illustrator’s Library. The swatch is saved to the Library with LAB settings, but when I select it it converts to CMYK forcing me to change it back to LAB and reenter the values every time I use it. I have hundreds of files that need Pantone colors which makes it a waste of valuable time. I’m attaching a youtube link of my screen to show what is happening. https://youtu.be/Pv4G7II95BM Is there a setting I need to use to solve this problem? Also, I’m using Illustrator 2023 (27.3.1) and Mac OS (10.15.7).

After the latest update v27.3.1, I have issues opening files from my library. After few minutes of being able to open, it will suddenly stop
So before the update, i am able to open files in my AI Library freely. But now, when I double click a file, sometimes it doesn't open.

Problème de synchronisation avec Google Drive
Je travaille sur 2 imac, l'un chez moi, l'autre à ma société. Tout se synchronise parfaitement à Google Drive, mon cloud d'entreprise, sauf Illustrator, qui me créé des fichiers tmp ! ça marche très bien sur Photoshop par exemple. Que dois-je faire pour synchroniser mes fichiers illustrator sur mes 2 ordinateurs ?

Recent files not showing on home screen...only recent cloud documents
My home screen only shows previous cloud documents. I work off of a network and do not use the cloud. This is on my work computer and my home computer after the update to 27.0. I do not need to see my recent cloud documents...just the ones on my computer and network.

Illustrator is always disconnected from Creative Cloud
Illustrator refuses to load my fonts and color library. It doesn't sync with the creative cloud until much later if at all. I'm a design intern and it's extremely important I use our specific font and colors so not being able to access this really sets me back on my projects.

Library Disappears
After I use Illustrator for a while, the library disappears (seemingly without provocation). The library comes back if I restart illustrator (but then I have to close all the files I was working on and open them again).

Illustrator 26.3.1 loses Libraries after computer wakes from sleep
Using Illustrator 26.3.1 , if you have your illustrator open and set your computer to sleep, the next time you wake it up and try resuming your work, libraries will be blank and say "Install Creative Cloud Library". If you restart Illustrator, it works fine until the next time you sleep your computer. Version 26.2.1 does not have this problem.

Paragraph Style -> Library Bug (Stroke Weight Lost)
If you create a paragraph style with a thin outline (e.g. 0.25) different from the fill color, and then add that style to the library, the library does not record the weight assigned to the stroke (e.g. 0.25). See images. Note that "Annotations Red", and "Annotations Red Lib" are the same style, I renamed it to prevent an overwrite. As you can see, though the fill and outline colors are correct, the stroke weight resets to default.
Also your system doesn't allow me to upload screen shots (.jpeg). Not sure what that's about. Here's a link to the my screencaps:

CC Libraries Convert "/" to Groups Popup Prompt
CC Libraries Convert "/" to Groups Popup Prompt will not go away when "back to libraries" is selected after a click on anything in libraries pops back up again preventing any access to library. After much frustration, clicked "Convert" and has now destroyed the organization of my library by creating many empty groups and arbitrarily grouping other items.
This was a huge library that took a lot of time to build, so I would love if it could be restored to its original stated before this "improvement".

Font Missing from Library Asset: Infinite Loop
I tried to place an asset from Materials Library. A dialogue warns of a missing font, but I cannot recover from this as it infinitely appears with no option to cancel the attempt to place the asset.
There really needs to be a way to recover from errors / faults, UX 101, had to use Program Manager to kill processes.

First time use of the Library bug
Hardly worth reporting but happens consistently for me: the first time I use the Library after opening Illustrator, upon choosing what I want to place, the library panel closes (before I can complete the place command). When I open the palette again and choose the item, it works fine. That's it.

Some process, probably library syncing, overwrote graphic updates
Almost lost half a day's work. Though I lost a bunch of time and productivity figuring out how to get it back.
A library graphic got overwritten by an older version of that library graphic by something other than a human being.
I was working in Illustrator 26.0.1 and Photoshop 22.5.2 at the same time on a Windows 10 machine. I had the graphic as a Smart Object in Photoshop. But since it's a graphic it was being edited in Illustrator.
I also had Illustrator 26.0.1 opened on my Windows 10 laptop cause that's where I do my pen work,…
