Newbie struggling to find tutorial files Illustrator 2025

I am new to Illustrator and using version 2026. I am following a "Get started with Illustrator" tutorial which appears to have 10 modules.  The first one titled "Get to know Illustrator" explained where to get the sample files.  The second module "Draw precise and freeform shapes with full control", just jumps in on a document which wasn't included in the first modules download.  Can somone help me figure out where I can get the sample files for all 10 of the modules for this tutorial? 

Thank you

Thank you!

The Discover panel is the Learn panel. They have renamend this so oftem I cannot keep up. Sorry.

That second tutorial has a link at the bottom, which opens a help page with the tutorial, which then has the link to the file.

 

Too complicated ... you're right. That is like following Ariadne around.

 

Does. this link work?

Where are those tutorials located?

That is important to know, because they might work differently based on that. If it's in the Learn panel, then it should just open the file when you start the tutorial. The Learn panel stays open and you can work on the file. 

 

On the Helpx this might be different. On the Adobe blog again different.

 

But also: sometimes those downloads don't work.

If the thing is on the web, you can try a different browser, but that doesn't always work either. So: do you have some more details?

Thanks Monika.  The tutorials are located withing the application under the Help menu.  The second item is titled Tutorials and that launches a Discover "window".  (As an asside while doing web searches to find a solution they too talked about a "Learn" panel and I am yet to find that in my latest version of Illustrator).  As I worked through the modules it appears that about 3/4 of them have a button titled "Get Files" which indeed gets the tutorial files.  Perhaps this is just a bug in this version where they failed to link the "Get Files" button for those specific modules.  Thank you again for your reply and let me know if you are able to replicate in your view.  Under About Illustrator (mac) I am on version 30.1.
