    Hi Everyone,

    The fix has been rolled out and is available in our latest release build – 24.1.1 for Win and 24.1 for Mac which is available worldwide now.

    Confirming that this works, finally!!
    1. Add a linked, bitmap asset to an Illustrator artboard.
    2. Create a mask with the object (eg. draw a box over the top of the bitmap and ⌘+7 or Ctrl+7)
    3. Drag the masked image to the Asset Export panel
    4. Export the asset as PNG or JPG

    Voilà! No extra white space around the masked image. The image is exported and cropped to the mask boundaries.
