I just saw a post on LinkedIn about the benefits of using the Dynamic Text feature on illustrator and even showed how to use it. However, I look under "Type" in my 2026 Illustrator application and it can't be found. Why is that?

I don’t see the “Dynamic Text” feature on this drop-down menu to use

    ​@rjayjuarez As Dave mentioned, it is in the beta. You can find it in the Properties panel.

    I believe it is on the beta version and accessed via the Contextual toolbar.
