Same issue here, this never worked In my experience. This has been broken for AGES Adobe... FIX IT.

Just comes down to really bad code quality / poor software verification testing.

If Adobe are too slow to respond and fix this issue, might have to move our production to Moho which is actively maintained and supported. Not sure why we are paying money for Adobe software with ZERO support and updates to address this long standing issue.

Agree, need to know what is going on here.
We have projects with workflows which are relying on this feature too.

Adobe need to throw some resources on this urgently.

Have there been any updates to this...I need to be able to streamline our Animation layers in After Effects.  I had a fix for it last semester, but I do not have one that works now. I tried to revert to several older versions of Animate and After Effects.

I've tried Animate 24.0.9 as suggested. Still not working for me. MacOS 26.0.1. Tried AfterEffects 24.6.8 and 25.5. Are there any other known version combos that still work?

Thanks for the update. Hope it's fixed soon...

As this is a KEY product feature promoted with a video on the Adobe site it's a bit embarrasing this feature is not working.

Perhaps have a notification indicating its not currently working on the webpage/video

For now, you will need to roll back to an earlier release (see my note a few posts above). I am waiting to hear back from the Animate team on an update.

Hi, I've got a Mac and am having the same issue. Just wondering when it will be fixed because I have a big project due soon. Thanks

I'll give it a try and let you know.
Pretty sure this essential feature has not worked in a long time... always worked/hacked around the issue.

Using a Mac Mini M4 Pro with macOS Tahoe and the latest versions of After Effects and Animate.
