Ability to add or remove anchor points

One of the key features allowing for finer control of paths and anchor points is the ability to add or remove anchor points in Illustrator. I see there is the ability to remove by selecting the anchor then hitting delete or the remove anchor point button. However, there is no way to add a new anchor point easily to a path. It would be much easier to be able to use an add and/or remove anchor point tool similar to Illustrator desktop version.

    Hi @ChrisMoody95,

     

    Thanks for sharing your idea. You're absolutely right that being able to quickly add anchor points is an important part of refining paths, and at the moment, Illustrator on the web (beta) doesn't include the same Add Anchor Point tool you're used to on the desktop version. I understand how valuable this functionality is for your workflow, and I'm sorry it’s not available just yet. Could you please add this request to UserVoice (https://adobe.ly/4pknYpq) and share your comments there? Submitting it through UserVoice helps the team prioritize requests, and you'll also be notified when there are updates on the feature.

    If you have any other questions or run into issues, feel free to reach out.

     

    I'd be glad to help.
