Create Swatch Info is greyed out along with Create Gradient? why?

Correct answer Ton Frederiks

Create Swatch Info does not work with a single selected swatch. Same for a gradient, you need at least 2.

Thank you. I'm new to this, and I only posted three times because I was confused. Excuse my egregious mistake.

I cannot "Create Swatch Info," as it is greyed out, along with "Create Gradient," in the swatch panel. Why? I have tried making a new document and just using the default swatches... Nothing. I am on a new M4 mac mini running the latest Illustrator, 2025.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
