    But it also goes wrong the other way around: Pantone Solid Spot colors added from Illustrator to a CC Library lose their name and become Process colors in Illustrator. It just takes a couple of clicks (not predictable how many, but it always destroys the spot in the end) to transfer the spot to process. Then the library color is permanently changed. Illustrator does change the library color.

    To add to what Egor said, spot color (actually every color added by Illustrator is not color managed, just a bunch of numbers) loses its Lab values. But Illustrator also destroys the colors in a CC Library. I rerecorded the steps and added a new one: once the color has become process magenta in the swatches, double clicking the color in the library changes it permanently to magenta. Switch back to InDesign shows a Process Magenta Pantone Blue...

    This is not fixed after 7 years waiting. Create a Spot in InDesign, add it to a library. Add the color in a New InDesign doc by filling a rectangle, add the color by adding it to the swatches, works fine.
    Go to Illustrator, create a new document, double click the spot and it becomes a magenta process color.

    If Global Colors are still not supported after 6 years, prevent them being added to a CC library.
    There is no warning when the box is checked.

    It is not only spot colors from InDesign that become magenta, Global colors from Illustrator have the same problem.

    It currently also happens with Global RGB colors added to the CC library. When added to another document from the CC library, they lose their name and become a magenta spot color.

    Spot in Illustrator

    This is still not solved:
    Create a Pantone Spot color swatch in InDesign (I used 321 C for sentimental reasons) and add it to a CC Library.
    Switch to Illustrator, double click the swatch in the CC Library to add it to the Swatches panel.
    It becomes a Global Process Color CMYK Swatch as 100% Magenta instead of a green Spot color.

    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.

    Julie, yes InDesign does not seem to support the gradients, but Photoshop does (on a layer).

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    Ton commented  · 

    @mark, yes it should not be limited to gradients but there are workarounds:
    Global colors, gradients, brushes and pattern swatches are not supported in CC libraries.
    But as a workaround you can drag an object using a brush/pattern/gradient/global color to the CC Library
    You can also drag multiple items using different brushes/patterns/gradients/global colors together into a CC library to simulate a library.
    The easiest way to add them to a new document is to hold down the Alt key when you drag them from the library and place them in a new document. The patterns/gradients/global colors automatically get added to your swatches panel.
    You can hit escape before you click to place the object(s) or delete the dragged library items because the swatches and brushes are now part of the document.

    There are some movies in the links I shared. One of them starts with your problem:
    Double click a Spot Swatch in the Library, click OK.
    Color gets added to the swatches as Spot (although the Color Mode has become CMYK).

    Ton commented  · 

    Color and CC Libraries do not go well together. Colors added are not color managed and spot and global colors will give you surprises, like being converted to magenta, lose their name, become process instead of Lab. Yes, the workaround is to create objects filled with the color and Alt drag them onto an artboard.

    Hi Everyone,

    The fix has been rolled out and is available in our latest release build – 29.3.0 which is available worldwide now.

    Illustrator will now preserve Global colors newly added to CC Library from this release onwards.

    What’s new in 29.3: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback.

    Still the same problems. Global Colors become magenta, create empty group folders. Spots lose their name, lose Lab description and become regular process colors

    Another post on the AI forum:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/importing-a-color-group-from-libraries/m-p/13749144

    If you right click a color group (containing global colors) and select “Add Theme to Swatches”, it creates an empty folder in the Swatches panel. If you create and select an object (like a rectangle) and click on a color in the global color group, it does not fill the object, but adds a magenta Spot color to the Swatches panel.

    Still not working. They don't get added twice, but that's it. You would expect a seamles, color managed exchange of colors (and other swatches) between CC apps...
    This is the description of what is shown in the movie.
    In Illustrator.
    Create a new CMYK file.
    Create a spot color and add it to a CC library. Close the document

    Create a new CMYK file.
    Just Double click a Spot Swatch in the Library, click OK.
    Color gets added to the swatches as Spot (although the Color Mode has become CMYK).

    Create a new CMYK file.
    Draw a rectangle.
    Click the Spot color in the CC library.
    No color added to Swatches, color fill becomes Process.
    After that the color in the Library has permanently changed.

    Spots added from Illustrator show CMYK values in CC Library.
    Spots added from InDesign show Lab values in CC Library (and become added to swatches as 100% magenta process color when double clicked in Illustrator).

    Double click a Global CMYK Swatch in the Library.
    Color gets added to the swatches as a 100% Magenta Spot color.

    Thanks Molly,
    After reading Peter Maas comments, I went back and the color that behaved well first, lost its name and became a normal process color. It seems that it works the first couple of times after the global color is added but then changes to a non global not custom named color.

    Illustrator will now allows to change gradients of the Live Paint selections, using Gradient tool.

    The annotator won’t show up when you do this, but you will see the changes immediately if you have GPU Preview and Real-Time Drawing and Editing options enabled in Preferences.

    Hello all,

    The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.

    'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.

    Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.

    Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.

    As we understand, 'replace all' was a important workflow for most of you, so we decided to quickly bring it back while working on the overall…

    If the linked files are missing because the original folder has been renamed or moved, and the links are in the same folder, it works when you click Replace and select a missing file in the new location. All files are found. If the missing links are in different folders, you need to repeat the locating.
    The other scenario; replace multiple copies of the same missing image with a different image works fine if you check the Apply to All checkbox that appears when opening the file, click Replace and point to whatever file you want.
    This is how it works on my Mac.
    But I prefer the InDesign way; controlling and replacing links from the Links panel.

    Josh, I don't think so, but you can install an older version of Illustrator: 2023 (28.4.1), a version that still has the Apply to All option:
    In the Creative Cloud app select Apps > All Apps > Illustrator > click the 3 dots … next to the Open button > click Other Versions and select 28.4.1. Click Install.
