Illustrator home screen GenAI / adverts taking up too much space

Is there any way to remove the GenAI creation fields from Illustrator’s home screen? It’s just in the way. It’s frustrating to now have to scroll past a massive AI box plus featured ads before I can properly see my recent files list.

Either give me an option to hide AI and featured items or at least put them below my recents. They shouldn’t be taking up the screen like this.

Hi @TheSquirrelNutkin,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. As of now, there isn't currently an option to hide only the GenAI and Featured sections while keeping the Recent Files section visible on the Illustrator Home Screen. To be certain, I'm also checking this with the product team and will update this thread if I receive any additional information.

I understand how important this functionality is to your workflow, and I apologize that this level of customization isn't available right now. In the meantime, would you mind creating a UserVoice request for this feature here: https://adobe.ly/4nXDxmO? Adding your feedback there helps the team track demand, prioritize requests, and keep you informed of any updates.

Once you've created the UserVoice request, please share the link here in the thread so other community members can upvote it and add their feedback as well.

Looking forward to your update.

Hi @TheSquirrelNutkin,

I wanted to provide a quick update after checking with the product team.

At this time, there is no option to hide or disable only the GenAI and Featured sections while keeping the Recent Files section visible on the Illustrator Home Screen. The product team has confirmed that this level of customization is not currently available.

I understand the concerns raised here about these sections taking up valuable space and impacting access to recent files, and I've shared the feedback from this thread with the team. If you haven't already done so, I would still encourage creating a UserVoice request, as those requests are actively tracked and help the team understand the demand for specific improvements.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and workflow concerns.

Regards,
Abhishek
