Hi @CarlosCanto, I can't find the equivalent docs there. Maybe I don't have the right permissions. Can you give me a step-by-step to find the illustrator docs?

Hi @Charu Rajput, that's a super useful resource. Just should note that it hasn't been updated for a while, so also check out these posts by @CarlosCanto:
