Hello :)
Latest Beta Build 30.6.27 is now available in CCD. We have below fixes in this build:

Live Blends Panel:
We've redesigned the Blends panel with new controls that give you more creative control over how blends interpolate between objects.
Now all Blend properties can be controlled from one place - the Blend panel.

  •  Easing:

 You can now control how blend steps are distributed along the path. Choose from four easing modes -  Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In/Out, and Ease Out/In - and fine-tune the intensity with the Ramp slider. Available when spacing is set to Constant Steps.

  •  Color Shift:

 A new Shift slider lets you independently control how colors accelerate through the blend sequence, separate from the spatial distribution of steps. Available when spacing is set to Constant Steps or Constant Distance.

  •  Reorganized Panel:

 All controls are now organized into collapsible sections -  Easing, Appearance, and Spine Controls - so the panel stays clean and focused. The panel is also scrollable, so all options are accessible regardless of screen size.

  •  Make Button:

You can now create a blend directly from the panel without going to the Object menu.

  •  Per-Blend Settings:

Easing and Color Shift values are saved per blend object, so different blends in the same document can have independent settings.

Known Limitations
- Easing controls are only available with Constant Steps spacing.
 - Color Shift is not available with Smooth Color spacing.

 How to Try It:
There are three ways to make a blend in Illustrator:
1. Blend Tool : Select the Blend tool (keyboard shortcut W), then click on two or more objects to create a blend directly on the canvas
2. Menu : Select two or more objects, then go to Object > Blend > Make (Option+Cmd+B on Mac / Alt+Ctrl+B on Windows)
3. Blend Panel (new) : Select two or more objects, open the Blend panel, and click the Make button

Once your blend is created, open the Blend panel to explore the new Easing and Appearance controls.

Sketch to Vector -

1. Sketch to Vector has been renamed to Concept to Vector
2. Generating with the Line Art sample prompt will now produce outputs with strokes
3. A new “Create live editable text” checkbox has been added in the Concept to Vector panel. Keeping this enabled during generation converts text in the output into live editable text. (Non-English and highly stylized text are not supported yet)
4. The Creativity / Input Deviation slider has been renamed to Match Reference Image
