I created a few gradient through the COLOR section in the app, and they all appear in my library, but I can't use any of them, in any CC app! How can I retrieve them as usable assets?

     Apparently, You have to export it, before you can use it....

    Gradients can be exported as PNG, SVG and CSS. Exported files can be used in Adobe products. Please refer - https://helpx.adobe.com/mobile-apps/help/gradient-faq.html

    Is this the same as a gradient capture from an image in Photoshop? In the CC  library tab in PS I clicked the "+" sign and selected "create from image". I then clicked on gradient tab and created a gradient that was added to my CC library. 

    I know for an image or other graphics I can right click the item in the library and select "place layers" or "place link" but that option is not available for gradients.  When I drag the gradient on the canvas I see the small square box and + sign but nothing seems to happen.I check the gradient section to see if it would be copied in my local library but it's not.

    I don't see an option to export to PNG, SVG or CSS.  So I can't figure how to use this feature.

    We are working on a better integration with PS.  Please bear with us for some more time.

    I just do not understand! Why put it in the library to occupy space on my workspace in the first place? Why not make it simply accessible as it clearly is designed to be? Can someone from adobe answer?

    Ilan. This feature is still in beta; as such it currently can only be exported as an SVG and imported into Ai, Ps, XD.
