Good morning fellow group members in the community and our moderators coming to you at 3:00 a.m. Toronto 3:00 a.m. Because well my workflow has changed dramatically. I've been on Adobe Express now for the better half of 4 or 5 years I use it full-time it's an everyday part of all of my projects probably use a platform and this week maybe 6 hours out of my 8 hours of work day I love the product I stand by it it has its flaws like everything but for the most part we are growing Community going together with the company and hopes that sort of suggestive issues and bugs we can work around them and get them figured out for the present members in the up and coming new members. A new one has arrived although but this one has no work around and it is consuming of my time in my workflow and is now taken over to a point where it's pretty much unbearable I'm speaking of when I guess you could call generative element grouping suggestions through artificial intelligence possibly basically let's say my screen I have designed a element say a character or some kind of signage now within that lays say six elements house in the one if you have in any way shape or form more than one element on the screen it starts suggesting grouping now it does this for every single element on every single housing on every single component so basically what is happening is not only might not giving the option to not group it's grouping everything for you and I would say the past three projects have worked on out of 100% of my workflow 70% of it is getting taken up by re-fixing back pedaling and having to redesign and re-engineer my whole entire project because of this aggressive grouping suggestions. I understand I get it it's a new feature everybody's hosting it on different platforms and it's a good thing but it's only a good thing if it works post some of these things that don't work it's okay because usually I work around and suggested and then we have to take the long route but we figure it out this one will have no work around. I don't know who's put this in or it's just and presented from a add-on but this hasn't ran the course there's no way it doesn't work and I'm now faced with actually not looking forward to or is ready having to go and start a project that's going to consist of multiple different elements on the one screen because well I'm rolling up my sleeves and burning 60 to 70% of my workflow it's getting dedicated towards ungrouping things that I didn't group and rebuilding it all again and it is becoming very challenging to return and move forward with this. I know it's a great feature to host if it worked properly but unfortunately because it's not working properly and there's no work around I would see that as something that's either not ready yet or should be removed until it is ready and then put back in because I can't work with it how do we fix this. I'm by no means software engineer or computer scientist or anything like that I'm a full-time hardcore devoted Express user so I would consider myself Savvy on   the platform this is out of my hand,  I dare say for someone new coming to the platform on a trial basis this would surely be something to steer them in another direction I'm already here all my creative tool skills have been invested in this and I love being here and I use a project every day I use the software everyday but I can't keep returning to this so I ask to whomever is designing it or whoever is involved with that part of the process to get yourself a screen up design five elements that house several elements inside each one and try and make things happen and see what it looks like, that can assure you it's very unpleasant I've just came out of an 8 Hour session that should have stuck in reality 2 hours and I do not have 6 hours to burn in an 8 Hour session nobody does right so it is with hopes that someone sees this and actually tries it to recognize what it is a meaning and if there's anybody else out there this has the same issue I'd love to hear your comment have you found a workaround. Now prior to having this new element of suggestive grouping the task was to be done by the user that was fine this is not an upgrade by suggesting and doing it for the user it's a step backwards it's a painful one that requires labor and deconstruction and redesign over and over and over I know you guys can fix this and I have all the faith that we can I just don't know how nobody's brought this up maybe it's me I highly doubt it I don't know take a look at it tell me what you think but this kind of workflow is just impossible and if the workaround is a suggested to upgrade to a more technical sweet but surely be a testament that this has to be removed. I'm not here to gripe or disregard or put down the product I'm here just to say I love it that's why I'm sharing and I hope that we can fix it cuz I'm happy here but it's hard with this it's just tough one

Hi 

@BLACK DONNELLY MEDIA

Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. I understand how this auto-grouping behaviour would disrupt your workflow , especially when it consumes so much of your time.

To help the team get a clearer picture of what’s happening, could you share a screenshot or, even better, a short screen recording of this issue? Additionally, are you seeing this happen with specific project or asset types, or is it universal across all projects?

 

We're here to help, just need some info.

 

Regards,

Tarun
