    We have released the support for Pattern swatches in CC Library with our latest release - v29.3

    You can select the 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 pattern applied and add that pattern to CC Library through Add Elements (+ button at the bottom) from the Libraries panel and choose Fill Pattern from the drop-down menu.

    Update to this version from your Creative Cloud Desktop application and let us know your feedback.

    Gradients and patterns can also not be added to Groups (see attached).

    A gradient and a pattern should function in the same way colour functions. They are all "fills".

    I will also add that even when adding a rectangle filled with the pattern to your library as a workaround so that in other documents you can drag and drop the graphic—that graphic does not bring the pattern swatch into your swatches palette.

    It's crazy that this is not possible. Patterns are often very much a part of visual identities. Libraries exist in part to manage and provide easy access to visual identity assets.

  2. AI displays the START SCREEN on opening the file and the document view do not switches (refreshes) the file content.

    The files I have opened are showing as open in the "Window" dropdown menu, but I am staring at a blank Illustrator interface screen with only the top menu bar and tools palette showing.
