Creative Cloud desktop

Hello Adobe and fellow community members, I have been an Adobe System Admin for several years and I believe the Admin Console and the Creative Cloud Desktop App still have a lot of opportunites for improvement to meet large enterprise needs. I would love to team up and collaborate with anyone willing to help improve these two areas: Application Usage Metrics - We need to see active application usage such as activity time and last launch of our users so we can appropriatly assignMore Granular control for admins in both the Admin console and Creative Cloud Desktop App. - We need more switches so we can shutdown certain services that is no enterprised approved. Thank You,Rick

Bonjour,En tant qu'administrateur système, je souhaite soumettre une demande d'évolution pour l'Admin Console concernant la visibilité sur l'utilisation des licences Creative Cloud au sein de notre organisation.Besoin identifié :Actuellement, nous ne disposons pas de données précises sur l'utilisation réelle des logiciels par nos collaborateurs. Il est difficile d'optimiser nos coûts de licences, car nous n'avons aucune visibilité sur :Le taux d'adoption par application : Quelles applications de la suite sont réellement utilisées et lesquelles sont sous-utilisées ?L'activité par utilisateur : Pouvoir identifier les utilisateurs inactifs ou ceux dont l'usage ne justifie plus une licence complète.Le volume d'utilisation : Avoir des métriques temporelles (ex: nombre de jours d'utilisation, temps de lancement par période donnée) pour corréler les attributions de licences avec les besoins métier réels.Fonctionnalité souhaitée :Nous aimerions voir apparaître dans l'Admin Console un tableau d

Hello,As a system administrator, I would like to submit a feature request regarding visibility into Creative Cloud license usage within our organization.Identified Need: Currently, we lack precise data regarding the actual software usage by our team members. It is challenging to optimize our license costs because we have no visibility into: Adoption rates by application: Which applications in the suite are actively used and which ones are underutilized? Per-user activity: The ability to identify inactive users or those whose usage does not justify a full license. Usage volume: Access to time-based metrics (e.g., number of days used, launch frequency over a given period) to correlate license assignments with actual business needs. Requested Feature: We would like to see an "Usage/Analytics" dashboard added to the Admin Console, featuring the following options: Consolidated View: A global chart showing the most frequently used applications across the organization. Detailed Per-User

The performance of your apps have taken a significant hit since you have incorporated LLM style junk into them. Startup time and general usage are both adversely affected. There should be an intuitive way to turn this off completely. My job is too important to allow an LLM to summarize pdfs for me. Some humans are still capable of reading.In some cases, AI tools are a huge help. In many others, they are an unnecessary burden being pushed upon us constantly while we are trying to work. Once again, I am capable of reading a pdf myself.     

There is currently no way to actually delete Acrobat Web Forms.

In the past few days, Adobe Color (formerly Kuler) at color.adobe.com has disappeared and been replaced with something that lacks the flexibility and usefulness of the previous interface. I’m hereby begging you to bring the previous interface back, in its entirety.I’ve been a paying subscriber to Adobe CC and an instructor of Adobe CC apps for many years, and while I haven’t been happy with the recent price increases, my overall satisfaction with the service and the useful generative AI features in Photoshop have been enough to offset the pain of paying more every month. However, Adobe Color was one of the most useful creative tools of its kind available anywhere, and the fact that it integrated with all my apps was a huge bonus. Why on earth would I want to be forced into Adobe Express while I’m trying to fine-tune and experiment with a complex color scheme? I’m really struggling to understand the purpose of this downgrade.There are many other users with similar sentiments: https://ww

We use Adobe at our nonprofit organization and need to provide the invoices to our finance department. It would be really helpful to receive these automatically via email, so I don't need to take the time to log in and download them/email them manually every month.

Could we please get a method of deploying Creative Cloud applications without having to push the entire installer package & related files for each app?Here’s my current dilemma: Intune and other MDM/RMM products can push software deployments over the air, but with severe file size limitations (like 1GB) - my Creative Cloud packages for our software labs are currently between 15-16GB.I’d like to be able to deploy the Creative Cloud Launcher (for example) and call it with commands like “--Install Products:PS,ID,AE,PPro”… to trigger the device to download and install these applications themselves.This would allow far more programs to deploy and install Adobe CC applications.This is especially beneficial for education environments where we don’t have access to high-complexity tools like SCCM, and can’t rely on users (students) to use self-service packages to install the appropriate applications.

We would like to see the entire CC suite available on Linux starting with Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop/lightroom.

Under Insights, add a function to generate a report that gives the monthly usage of Generative AI credits per user.

Currently, from adobe we don't have any commands to manage the adobe creative cloud desktop application for to disable the auto updates. As most of the Organizations manages the updates by themselves and in our organizations we have 6000+ users affect by this non functionality. Can you please implement this feature as this is great help us to manage the adobe creative cloud desktop as well. 

Apparently only a ETLA contract type can run reports and automate them. We have a government contract and is the only contract we can use….Why other large license contracts do not have this “feature” already is beyond me. I can go in and manually export to a csv, but cannot do a report for it. Let alone have it run monthly or quarterly and send to our admin team. Please put this on all contract types, it makes zero sense to not. Even a personal license type should be able to get their license use made and automated for their records.

Need a way to hide the Benefits tab in the Creative Cloud Desktop app. We don't want our users to be able to see all the miscellaneous items in our enterprise plan but what is more recently frustrating is that there are “Partner perks” advertisements listed now, such as redeeming 3 months of LinkedIn Premium which should not be shown for an enterprise level license. We have tried editing the ServicesConfig.xml to append “BenefitsPanel” to “False”, similar to AppsPanel but it appears not supported in the same way.

I’ve been extremely frustrated by misleading Adobe Stock graphic descriptions. This probably just applies to vectors. The platform is starting to be OVERRUN with AI-generated graphics claiming not to be AI. These typically look great on the preview, but once you download them, zoom in, and try to edit them it’s extremely obvious that they’re AI. Mostly because they’re always put together in a sloppy way that’s hard to edit, and don’t look nearly as good close up. I have on numerous occasions downloaded 20+ assets before I could find one that wasn’t AI, despite having the “exclude generative AI” filter on. Additionally, I’ve downloaded a ton of icons that claim to have editable strokes but don’t, and various graphics claiming to have editable text that don’t. I can’t even imagine how frustrating this must be for people who buy download packs rather than having a subscription. I understand that your team probably doesn’t have time to review every asset that gets posted, but it seems that

As a Creative Cloud individual plan subscriber, I frequently need to run Adobe applications on two of my own computers at the same time. This is not an account-sharing situation — I am the sole user. The need arises from a real workflow limitation: when rendering or exporting a heavy project on one machine, the device's resources are fully consumed, making it impossible to continue working on other tasks on the same computer.Creative Cloud is marketed as a professional suite of complementary applications. However, the current licensing model restricts active use to one device at a time, which directly conflicts with how professional workflows operate across multiple machines.I am not asking for the ability to share my account. I am asking Adobe to reconsider the policy for single users who own multiple devices and need to run complementary tasks concurrently — such as rendering on one machine while editing on another.This is a genuine productivity need that the current licensing archit

Hundreds have people have requested native support for Linux (not cloud software - local installs) but IMO it deserves a renewed look specifically now because of the end of windows 10 support. Older Windows 10 computers without upgraded TPM cannot move to Windows 11, and the remaining best option is Desktop Linux. However, for creative users this will would be a lot easier with support from Adobe for CC on Linux. The next best alternative is to move away from Photoshop and CC altogether and to move to other softwares. This is not an idea solution for Adobe nor for customers, and this is something many people have been asking for over a rather long time. ...if there was ever a right time for this, it is now. 

Microslop is literal torture to use, and inhibits the human souls ability to be creative. Mac is fine I guess, but doesn’t let us choose the graphic card, nor build custom beauties. Linux is the way.Just make creative cloud run on the penguin already. Thanks

To update the creative cloud apps  installed in a machine - Currently we need to launch the creative cloud desktop suite, and click on ‘update all’. It would be great to have a feature where we can update all the creative cloud apps via a command line, rather than the need of user intervention to launch the creative cloud desktop suite and click on ‘update all’ Hosting a dedicated server just to manage the adobe updates or packaging each creative cloud app (few gbs) and deploying it over network -  do not seem to be a feasible solution.

There seems to be no way to either rename a file if necessary, especially once it has been signed. Nor does there seem to be an option to mark/ tag/ colour code a file for sorting. The latest update has removed or reworked some features and it has made it difficult for us to catalogue/ index our documents other than by user. The ‘notes’ option is a temporary fix but it isn’t ideal when it means we would have to do it to every single file in our database and code it through notes which is incredibly time consuming.

When downloading and starting the installer for the Creative Cloud desktop app, there should be a simple drop down menu to change the language of the install and the Creative Cloud app. Reasons why:- As a professional, i rarely (if ever) google anything in my native language. If i have a problem or need help with professional software, i google it in english. The communities, forums, subreddits, youtube channels etc. are usually communicating in english. That is why i need the creative cloud desktop app to be in english.- The apps themselves can be installed in english. The creative cloud desktop app should not be an exception.- Some users will set language options to different than OS default in order to learn languages. I like having any professional apps in english to more effectively communicate to english speaking colleagues. If i have to translate terms from my native language in the desktop app to english, i might mess it up.- Helping other colleagues/students with their wo

I was delighted to see, when I launched the CC app, that it asked me for feedback on the ‘Home’ page. I gave feedback, and explained how it’s just dreadful, and needs a serious redesign. We do not want to be bombarded with adverts, AI crap, suggestions, etc.99% of the time, I want to check for app updates, and then probably install those updates. That’s it. I can do EVERYTHING else from within the apps. Please, Adobe, make the CC app what is was maybe a year or two ago - a simple interface to manage apps, and not much else. We pay a lot of money for this, and I do not expect to be advertised and shouted at by this hideous mess of a monstrosity. PLEASE take on board some input from designers (who are, may I remind you, the vast majority of your market) and tell the marketing morons to go away and stay away, and stop throwing ugly adverts and suggestions at this poor app. Or preferably fire all the Adobe marketing morons whose sole job is to make the whole Adobe experience much, much wor

Allow admins to auto install softwares through creative cloud desktop app, not only auto update.

I work for a government agency that uses an Enterprise Creative Cloud plan for a workforce of over 1,000 employees. With the recent rollout of third-party AI models across Adobe products, I noticed that attempting to use any model other than Firefly results in the following message: “Your system administrator isn't allowing access to this feature right now” (see attached screenshot below) Third Party AI model limitation within Lightroom attempting to use Topaz Labs generative upscale.After contacting our IT department, I learned that our agency has disabled access to all third-party AI models within Adobe. However, when I asked whether access could be enabled for a specific, pre-approved model (in this case, Google Gemini / Nano Banana), I was told this was not possible. According to our IT team, Adobe’s current enterprise controls only allow all-or-nothing access to third-party AI models — meaning administrators must either enable access to all external models or disable them entirely

A built-in notes panel inside Photoshop where users can store and quickly copy text snippets such as titles, captions, hashtags, or recurring content used in designs. This would reduce the need to switch between external text apps and Photoshop during the design process.e 

As a professional graphic designer since 1998 — over 25 years using your tools — I am writing to you with profound indignation and disappointment at the direction the company has taken with the Adobe Creative Cloud business model.For more than two decades, I have been a faithful user of your products. I have invested not only money, but time, knowledge, and constant feedback that contributed to the evolution and improvement of the tools that made Adobe the technological giant it is today. I actively participated in the creative community that tested, suggested improvements, promoted, and defended your products among colleagues and students.This historical loyalty is now being completely disrespected.The current mandatory subscription model — which forces me to pay for an expensive complete package to access only 2 or 3 applications I actually use — is an affront to all professionals who built the solid foundation of your company. It is unacceptable that, after decades of investment and
