Hello everyone, 


We're thrilled to announce the April 2024 release of Illustrator version 28.5. Dive into new features and enhancements inspired by your feedback that are designed to streamline the workflow and improve efficiency.



See a comprehensive list of the latest feature updates, along with other enhancements and bug fixes.

Automatically Relink
Missing Files

When you relink a missing file to your Illustrator document, Illustrator now streamlines your workflow by automatically searching for and relinking other missing linked files in the same folder. Learn more about this feature and how to utilize it effectively.

Sort links by Size

With the ability to sort linked & embedded files by size in ascending or descending order, organizing your assets has never been easier. Learn more about this feature and elevate your link management.

 

Seamless Transfer of Illustrator Files with Links Across Platforms

Illustrator now ensures an uninterrupted workflow by preserving the relative locations of linked files when moving documents between folders or systems. Experience hassle-free migration, keeping everything intact without any broken links. Learn more about this feature and simplify your file management process effortlessly.

Fixed Issues

Our team has addressed several issues in Illustrator v28.5:

  • Scale Strokes & Effects in the Transform panel is grayed out when nothing is selected. (UserVoice)

  • Mouse pointer disappears in Illustrator while working on the Windows 11 Insider Preview build. (UserVoice)

 

  • Artwork appears pixelated while zooming or panning an image (UserVoice)

 

  • Filled area text boxes can't be exported as SVG files (UserVoice)

 

  • Unable to drag and drop JPEG and PNG files from Photoshop (v25.5.1) to Illustrator (v28.3) (UserVoice)

 

  • Partially Fixed - Artboard edges disappear while panning or scrolling a document (UserVoice)
    (Grids & guides are still under investigation)

We would love to hear your feedback on the improvements in the Illustrator UserVoice.

    Thank you Anshul_Saini

     

    I need help with this issue: I can't see the "Search for missing links in this folder" option in Adobe Illustrator. I'm sure I updated to version 28.05 via Adobe Creative Cloud. What can I do?
