- Automatically relink missing files from the same folder when relinking a placed asset. When you relink one missing file, Illustrator finds and relinks other missing files located in the same folder.
- Avoid accidentally selecting objects by clicking on their drop shadow or effect boundary. Illustrator no longer selects objects when you click only on their shadow or the area of an applied effect, reducing accidental selections.
- Generate and review up to 8 preset variations side by side at once, using Concept to Vector to compare stylistic directions without waiting for each result individually (unavailable in mainland China, Russia, and Belarus).
- Invoke Concept to Vector directly on an unexpanded Image Trace object to generate a vector result from the original base image rather than the traced output (unavailable in mainland China, Russia, and Belarus).
- Use GPT Image 2.0 when using Concept to Vector (unavailable in mainland China, Russia, and Belarus).
- Browse the refreshed and modernized content libraries for new ready-to-use swatches, including updated gradients and patterns.
