New swatch is NOT global by default

Use the color panel to customize a fill or stroke color.
Drag the fill or stroke box into the body of the Swatches panel to create a swatch for the color.
Swatch is not global as stated in https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html

Hi!

Any chance this issue will be fixed soon? It sure would be more convenient if new swatches were global by default!

Thanks,
Becky
