Area Type Text with Vertical Alignment Breaks in CC Libraries
It seems if I set an Area Type box to Accent and apply Center Vertical Alignment in the Area Type Options that the text will break up (perhaps by kerning pairs?) once reopened.
The Area Type text is gone and it's broken up point type.
If I were to use a standard Area Type box (Baseline: Em Box Height; Vertical Alignment: Top), there's no issue, and the text remains editable as Area Type.

Text entry error when naming Adobe CC library items
First of all, great to see CC libraries getting some love with the addition of groups. I'd love to see further refinements, as I use CC libraries for all projects.
One issue I'm having with V23.01 on a Mac (Mojave V10.14.3) is with naming CC library items I've just dragged into the Libraries panel. The behavior I'd expect to see would be for the new item's name field to get keyboard focus, allowing me to immediately type in the name of the item I'd just added.
Currently, the item gets a default name (e.g. "Artwork 1," "Artwork 2," etc.). If…

Libraries now converts all my saved Spot CMYK swatches to RGB.
I can no longer bring in my previously made Spot CMYK swatches as CMYK. All my spot color swatches are converted to RGB. I can create new spot CMYK swatches that come in properly in a newly created library but anything created in the past or in a previously made library is now all RGB.

Pixels out of alignment when copied from library
I'm currently rebuilding over 1,500 icons which need to be pixel-perfect and have certain badges that we're using a library for.
The icons are being made as symbols so we can edit the symbol and then on artboards, it's resized to the required icons we need.
Illustrator won't allow a linked graphic from the library, so I have to place a copy. As per image, when placing a link, the pixels line up as per design. When placing a copy, it moves the design around and ***** things up, making it not perfect. When I either place a copy or…

Color assets from Libraries cannot be applied to objects in Illustrator 30.0 (2026)
After updating to Illustrator 2026, clicking a color swatch from the Libraries panel no longer applies the color to selected objects. The color swatch highlights but does not change the object’s fill or stroke.
- Drag-and-drop from Libraries to objects or the Swatches panel does nothing.
- Issue occurs with fill and/or stroke targeted.
- Behavior worked normally in previous Illustrator versions
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Illustrator 2026.
2. Open the Libraries panel (Window → Libraries).
3. Select an object on the artboard.
4. Click a color swatch in Libraries.Expected result:
The object’s fill or stroke should change to the selected…2 votes -
Non-global swatches in cloud libraries don't retain names when added in new documents
I have a large cloud library with like 800 swatches for customers that I need to use in multiple different documents. Most of the swatches were uploaded with the global tag so when I use them later on, they still have their name when I add it to the documents. However, some of my swatches are missing the global tag so when I add them later on, they just automatically convert the selected object to CMYK and doesn't add it to my swatch panel.
If it matters, my workflow is selecting the objects that need the new swatches, then clicking…

Align art to pixel grid applied by default when adding vector images to CC libraries
Steps to reproduce: Select a vector graphic in an Adobe Illustrator file and click the Add ("+") icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel. Choose "Graphic." (note: the Illustrator file containing the graphic does not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.)
Expected result: The newly created library asset should not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.
Actual result: The library asset has "Align art to pixel grid" applied.
I'm forced to uncheck "Align art to pixel grid," close, and then re-open the library asset. This removes "Align art to pixel grid" about half the time.
I'm on…

TIF files from Adobe Libraries are not supported
TIF files from Adobe Libraries are not supported in Illustrator. This has been a problem for at least a year now that needs to be fixed. Unfortunately, we have had to create jpeg files and relink the graphics for all of our clients. I am unsure why that file type would not be supported.

CC Libraries don't retain Lab values of swatches
If you create a color with Lab values in Illustrator or InDesign and add it to a CC Library, it will convert to CMYK in a new .indd doc and RGB in a new .ai file. We work in Lab 99.9% of the time, so this is super frustrating. We have a database of custom color mixes/names. It would save us a ton of time if we could use CC Libraries for this.
The crazy thing is... if you make a rectangle with a fill of a custom spot color with lab values and save it as a Graphic, it…

Paragraph style with bulletpoints doesn't apply bullets when coming from CC library
When I make a new paragraph style with bullets or numbering in an Illustrator document, I would like to reuse that. When I copy the style to the CC library, and apply that in a new document: the bulletstyle or numbering is lost.
Instead when I copy the textbox to the library, and place that in a new document, the paragraph styles behave identical to how they did in the original document.
I would suggest to make an improvement there, and not break the functionality of the paragraphstyles when used in a proper way through the library.. For me this…2 votes -
Can't add new items to my CC Libraries when working from home
Here is my issue, I have two Mac computers both running the latest version of the Ventura operating system (13.6.7 at the time of this post), one of them is at the office and the other one is at home for work I do when away from the office.
I have a teams account with Adobe provided by my employer. I log into CC using the same ID on both machines. On my computer at the office, I can add new items to any of my Adobe Libraries in any of the apps. However, on my home computer I can't…

Creative Cloud Libraries — duplicated library asset not visible in filtered Libraries palette view
When I have a search filter applied in the Libraries palette in Adobe Illustrator to show only assets whose names start with "icn", and I right-click to duplicate one of the filtered assets, the newly created duplicate asset does not appear in the filtered Libraries palette view. The duplicate is created successfully, but is not shown in the current search results. To see the new asset, I have to retype the "icn" search filter, at which point the duplicate becomes visible.
Expected result:
After duplicating a library asset, the newly created duplicate should be immediately visible in the…2 votes -
Keyword Search on CC Libraries Not Working
Keyword Search on CC Libraries is not working. The input area franked by Magnifier icon above the asset thumbnails does not accept any input. Clicks on that area gives zero interface response.
This keyword search is important for many users who has a project library contains over 300 assets like mine. Much more so when CC Libraries provides the order-reshuffling group-invalidating default feature for any attempt to relinking assets.
The only functional part there is "Search In" criteria drop down arrow on the right.
Currently, it's happening on Illustrator version 27.4.1 but this issue has persisted across previous versions.2 votes -

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.
