Latest Release: Fixes & Enhancements

 

Your feedback is important to us, and we've been listening. Following are recent changes to the new Adobe Express.

 

 

Latest Updates

 

Add Grids to projects

 

Grids are now available in Adobe Express! Create quick and easy collages with photos and videos by adding Grids to your design. Create custom looks using multiple grids in one design, adjust the size and scale of images in your grid, or customize your grid to fit your content. More Grid features are coming soon, including drag & drop to swap the placement of media within a grid and the ability to change grid layouts while keeping your content intact.

 

Tip: Grids may be used to create quick and easy collages with photographs & videos. Add multiple grids and modify picture size & scale within a single design to get unique styles.

 

 


Webpage Conversion Issues

 

Did your webpage not convert properly to the new Adobe Express? Issues with webpage conversions, such as font style changes, incorrect headers, footers, and layouts, have been fixed. Here are the steps to reconvert webpage files.

 

  1. Go to Your Stuff, then select & delete webpage files that didn't convert properly. Do not delete files in the [Originals] folder.
  2. Navigate to the [Originals] folder and select the original webpage file you want to reconvert.
  3. Select "Open converted file" from the "File already converted" message.

 

The reconverted files will be saved in the [Originals] folder.

 


Inline Text Editing 

 

Adobe Express supports inline text editing within the design canvas. To edit text, you must first enter text editing mode using one of several methods. Below are two common ways to enter text editing mode.

 

1. For a text object that is neither grouped nor overlaid with others:

  • Double-click the text or
  • Single-click the text twice

2. For text objects that are grouped or overlaid with other objects:

  • Select the text object from the Layers panel
  • Press Enter on the keyboard

 

Known Issues & Workarounds

 

Can't embed Spark Video links within a webpage.

To embed a Spark video into a webpage, download the Spark Video file, upload it to Youtube or Vimeo, and then use the link to embed.

 

Old web projects get a new URL when published post-conversion.

We've identified this issue and are working on getting it resolved. Please stay tuned.

 

Can't find files after migration.

Please contact Adobe Virtual Assistant so we can help you find your files.

 

Organized folders are missing.

To restore the old folder structure, visit https://new.express.adobe.com/restore-folders from a new browser. 

If files & folders have already been migrated, the 'Folders' hierarchy will remain as it was in the previous version.

    Why can't we export JPGs, PDFs, or PNGs in higher res? The bigger the canvas is the pixelated it gets even for an email header.

    These people act like it doesn't lower the resolution?

    I downloaded an old projust before and after conversion to the new one.

    The old project was 6,000 x 6,000. It downloaed it in 6,000 x 6,000. After converting to the new on. It downloaed it in 1,200 x 1,200.

    Salve a tutti, sono un'insegnante e oramai da più di due anni che utilizzavo adobe express (pagina web) per creare le mie lezioni. Mi trovavo benissimo. Ma la nuova versione non mi permette più di salvare il lavoro in pdf (l'opzione stampa è sparita!). Questo passaggio mi è indispensabile per fornire la lezione agli alunni che non dispongono di un collegamento internet a casa. Ho contattato l'assistenza più volte, ma oggi mi è stato risposto che questa funzionalità non è più disponibile! Sarò costretta ad usare altre piattaforme, ma volevo dirlo a tutti che è un gran peccato!

    Hi all,

     

    Have a look at a walkthrough video on Adobe Express Grids and Add on: Dropbox by @Andy Lambert here: https://www.loom.com/share/c7eb2a7bf6394b04b4cda2c5b3279ceb?sid=1e1576df-dbd8-4ef0-b195-ffba15facb22

    Good afternoon,

    After the update, I am unable to upload an Express video into an Express page. In the past, I could do this by adding the video via the add video option. However, now I am only able to upload a video from Vimeo or YouTube. Does anyone know how to take an Express Video that I have made and bring it into an Express Page? Thank you in advance.

    Hey @Patricia322375486fey, As of now, the only way to upload Adobe Express video to the express webpage is to get it live on Vimeo or Youtube. 

    However, you can drop in a suggestion to our product team here.

    Instagram Bilder kann ich leider seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr über express hochladen.

     

    "Die Beta-Version von Adobe Express unterstützt derzeit das direkte Veröffentlichen in Instagram Stories und Reels nicht. Du kannst jedoch auf deinen Haupt-Instagram-Feed veröffentlichen. Die besten Ergebnisse erzielst du mit einem quadratischen Layout und Videos unter 60 Sekunden."

     

    Bei einem oder mehreren Bildern bekomme ich diese Fehlermeldung, obwohl ich wie gesagt kein Reel/Video oder auch keine Storie hochladen möchte sondern nur Bilder.

    The new version is AWFUL. Not user friendly. Can't curve letters, can't seemlessly edit or create authentic content anymore. Super disappointed and has led to a delay in marketing in relation to a private practice. WHY?!

    We are really missing the feature to generate automated collages. In earlier Versions it was possible to upload a number of pictures and Adobe Express made an automatic grid. Working with the "new" Grid feature is not as easy and quick as ist was with the collage function! Is there anything i have missed or is the collage feature really gone?

    Hi there,

     

    I would like to inform you that as of now collage can be created using the Grid feature. If you're looking for any additional feature for collage you can post it here: https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express?query=collage, as our product team is monitoring this page, and they might share the update on this.

     

    Regards,

    It's gone and there is no way to drag and drop images to swap them in the grid.

    Hey @Juan27071862h3iv, Single-page webpages can be made in the current version. All you need to do is search for it in the left side panel. (Please refer to the screenshot attached)

     

     

    Let us know if you don't see this.
