How can I turn off the "Start quickly in Firefly..." and "Search Adobe Stock" pop-ups from the new document panel?

​
​@callum_6285  I have "Show Home Screen when no documents are open" enabled and I also have the modern New Document interface (Legacy File New Interface is disabled), but I do not see the Firefly or Adobe Stock promotional cards. It’s the opposite of what ​ ​@Harshika Verma suggested. 

Curious, are you using the latest Illustrator update? I am using V20.8.2 on a MAC.

I'm not 100% sure, but you could try turning off notifications and marketing communications in your Adobe account under Communication Preferences: https://account.adobe.com/magazines It may not affect the Firefly and Adobe Stock panels in Illustrator, but it's something to try. Mine is all off. And I don’t see any Firefly or Adobe Stock promotional cards.

Hi ​@callum_6285,

Thank you for reaching out. If the promos bother you on the startup/Home screen, you can disable them separately in the same General preferences panel:

• Uncheck "Show the Home Screen when no documents are open"

This stops Illustrator from showing the Home screen (with its Stock/Firefly cards) at launch. You can still access it later via Home in the menu if needed.

Another workaround you can follow:

If the Firefly/Stock in the File → New dialog bothers you, you can enable "Use Legacy 'File New' interface" in Preferences → General.

After this, File → New will open the older, streamlined dialog- no Firefly prompt, no Stock search bar.

Meanwhile, you can also upvote this UserVoice and add your comment. 

Hope that helps. 

Thanks,

Harshika
