Photoshop 27.8.0: Creative Cloud Libraries panel displays assets but all Library actions (Set Color, Edit, drag-and-drop, apply colors) do nothing. Rolling back to Photoshop 27.7 restores full functionality.
Issue summary:
Creative Cloud Libraries panel is non-functional in Photoshop 27.8.0. Library assets are visible, but all Library commands and interactions do nothing. Rolling back to Photoshop 27.7 restores full functionality.
Product and version:
Adobe Photoshop 27.8.0 (20260610.r.13, x64)
Operating system:
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Version 10.0.19045.6456)
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Photoshop 27.8.0 on Windows 10.
- Open Window > Libraries.
- Select a Creative Cloud Library containing color swatches (or other assets).
- Create or select a shape layer or text layer.
- Click or double-click a color swatch in the Libraries panel, or right-click a swatch and choose Set Color or Edit.
- Alternatively, drag a color swatch from the Libraries panel onto the selected object.
Expected result:
The selected shape or text should update to the Library color. "Set Color" and "Edit" should execute normally, and Library assets should be usable.
Actual result:
The Libraries panel displays all assets correctly, but all Library actions are non-functional. Clicking or double-clicking color swatches has no effect. "Set Color" and "Edit" do nothing. Drag-and-drop has no effect. The "+" button for adding Library assets is disabled. The Libraries panel appears to load correctly, but none of its commands execute.
Additional information:
- Creative Cloud Libraries work correctly in Adobe Illustrator on the same computer and with the same Adobe account.
- Creative Cloud is signed in and syncing normally.
- Photoshop preferences were reset.
- Photoshop was reinstalled (including removing preferences).
- No third-party plugins are installed.
- The issue persists after updating to Photoshop 27.8.0.
- Rolling back to Photoshop 27.7 immediately restores full Creative Cloud Libraries functionality without any other changes.
