An error occurred while saving the comment Hmm. Illustrator allows it with Apperance. and Graphic Styles panels. Are you aware of these?
If you are, and you think they are not sufficient for your tasks — can you please elaborate more on those features of InDesign’s approach you are missing in Illustrator specifically? Please provide details and examples. Thanks!An error occurred while saving the comment Also, why there is still no assignable hotkey for this? Using an action slot for this feels wasteful.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, Redefine works! Thanks, Margaret (if I recall correctly, you even have an action to call this?) Quite hidden, like merging swatches... Still, opening a window/panel/whatever to edit the style chosen can be useful.

An error occurred while saving the comment Tough to say... it looks both like a mess but also can be a desired layout — I know nothing about the intended design.
So yeah, the most reasonable way to handle this would be to record the bug on video, make sure you have reproducible steps (I hope there are!), package the project and share it with the team via that email I shared before — these files never get published anywhere and stay within the team.
An error occurred while saving the comment Simon, you can share those privately with the team. Send them over to sharewithai@adobe.com, provide the exact steps to replicate the issue (if possible). Please also put the link to this report so they can track it: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46526752
I personally recall at least one more case of someone having the similar problem, but I failed to find it here on UV. Must be rare enough.An error occurred while saving the comment Wow, this sounds broken :/
Does it happen with that one specific file, or with any other file with linked images? Were there any file operations with the documents and its links, like move or copy?
Can you replicate it? share a screenshot or a video? Tough to start investigating without any evidence. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I asked the Ai team about it, but I think this might be a problem form the Pantone’s side. Rod, have you asked their support about it? What do they reply with?

An error occurred while saving the comment Zones are now much better presented, some more cursor feedback added, but I’d still prefer to have it more pronounced.

An error occurred while saving the comment Brooks, can you please make a short video of the issue? Just to demonstrate what are you doing exactly, which steps do you make. Thanks!

We have rolled out a release yesterday which gives the capability to turn this off through a 'Don't Show Again' option available in the popup dialog.
An error occurred while saving the comment Bradley, I am not a real part of the Illustrator development team. I am just a user and one of administrators of this site. My voice is my own, and you should not think I represent Adobe. I had no knowledge this change is going to happen, but I loathe it and fight for making it less insulting. As you can see, the team has pushed the update, let’s see if this makes it more tolerable.

An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry for the late answer.
In fact, you can do it in Illustrator, it’s just the method is not that widely known, and Ai does nothing to promote it enough, and it does not work exaclty like 'soft selections' in 3D editors, because Ai has no such a thing as 'softly selected' points.Take a look at the GIF attached.
First, I select those point I want to affect with Direct Selection tool.
Then I pick Reshape tool — usually it’s hidden Scale/Shear tool group in the Advanced tool panel (and is completely hidden in the Basic one).
Then I click (or marquee) with the tool to make some point focal, that is those which will affect other points in the selection.
Finally, I drag the selection by one of the focal points.
Here you are, the non-focal points get pulled by focal ones.Notice, that I had to lower the size of points (via Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section) to the minimum, because the Ai team forgot to fix the highlighting of the focal points for larger size values — you won’t be able to see those squares around focal points.
Here you can read the official manual for the tool (and it’s quite scarce):
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/adjust-path-segments.html#stretch-parts-of-a-pathIf you are looking for a solution which does not really into keeping original points, but allow you to 'sculpt' a path with a greater freedom, you might want to look at the paid Reform tool from Astute Graphics (look for videos on YouTube, they have some).

An error occurred while saving the comment The extension below feels like an overkill. Sure, this should be fixed, but the fastest workaround (although it requeues a habit) is to press Ctrl(Cmd)+Y twice, to toggle Preview mode. This is enough to trigger the 'dirty' status of the document.
Amazing... changing the mode, returning it to the one it used to be, is enough for 'changes!' flag, but updating a link — is not. Illustrator works in mysterious ways. And when it does not — even more mysterious...An error occurred while saving the comment It turns out there is even an extension made to solve this specific problem:

An error occurred while saving the comment Dave, a manual is sort of there already.
There is the Discover panel, which is basically a browser window with some search and in-app highlighting, and there is the site it picks data from, helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/
I can’t say these are perfect (cause I know they are not) — but maybe a little more details, please? What is that you think is not covered well enough by it? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Nicky, are you aware of the workaround I described below?
Pick the Artboard Tool first, and then drag a guide out of rulers.
I don’t promote this as an ultimate solution, on the contrary, I think a modifier is better for this, in the spirit of 'true Ai way'AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Jasnoor, that’s a different problem.
Does it get fixed if you scale your art down?
Can you share the file here for the team to look at?An error occurred while saving the comment Jan, the team kindly ask you to share the file with the artwork and details about the Color Settings (Edit > Color Settings...)
Please also try to change them to any other settings preset other than 'Northern America General Purpose 2' and see if it changes anything in the behaviour. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Please provide screenshots, before and after, and a test file so the team can reproduce this behavior. Provide the exact specs of your OS and the name of the font used. Thank you for reporting this!

An error occurred while saving the comment Rinchen, can you please provide some examples of that 'gross output' you get?
Also — well, you can select all the text in a document and change this option for all of them at once, can’t you?
Thanks for the question. This is an expected behaviour.
Since 2020 version Illustrator team decided to keep the unified format. So if you save a document from 2023 version, the older version (up to 2020) will be able to read it back — except for the new features from 2023, like Intertwine (they will become expanded).
Does it answer your question?
