  1. Global Process Colors get added twice when added from a CC library, lose their name and become Spot colors.

    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.

    In Illustrator, it seems the workaround solution is to preselect the item (text, shape, etc.) to be assigned the colour from your Library, and THEN right-click the library spot colour and select "Add to colour swatches".
    Pantone spot maintains it's spot assignment, and imports to swatches with saved name, and only one copy.
    If you have nothing selected, and try to add a colour from your Library to swatches, it makes 2 copies of the same colour in CMYK values.
    Hope that helps!
