Beta Build 29.8.86 Release Notes

Hello,

Latest Beta Build 29.8.86 is now available in CCD. We have below features in this build:

Font Browse Improvements:
We're excited to introduce an updated font browser experience in this beta release. These updates are designed to make font Browse faster and more intuitive, enabling you to explore, identify, and apply the desired font with ease.

Here’s a look at what’s new in this beta:

• Introducing New Collections tab: The browser is now organized into three main tabs: Your Fonts (a consolidated view of all your active fonts including local fonts, recently used, and those added from Adobe Fonts.), Collections (for creating custom font groups), and Discover More (your gateway to all Adobe Fonts).
• Collection Management: From the dedicated Collections tab, you can easily manage your font groups—view, rename, delete collections, or remove individual fonts within them. These collections now sync seamlessly across Creative Cloud Libraries, ensuring a consistent experience across your creative workflows. You’ll also be able to identify the ownership status of each collection—Personal, Enterprise, or Shared
• Quick Hover Actions: Hover over any font to access the newly added Add to Collection button, allowing you to quickly add a font to an existing collection or create a new one.
• Refined UI: Enjoy a refreshed user interface with improved spacing and larger previews for better readability.

And There's More to Come... This is just the first step. In upcoming beta releases, look out for:

• New ways to filter fonts by specific characteristics, including filtering by Language and Script.
• New ways to browse all the Adobe Fonts available to you in the Discover More tab.
• New consolidated settings within the font browser to personalize your view.
• Enhanced search capabilities to help you quickly find the perfect font

Try out the new font browser updates and let us know what you think!

Snapping improvement based on BETA feedback:
We have made several changes to the snapping based on all the feedback that you have given go far. This includes :
1. Simplified smart guide preference panel with lesser controls
2. Changes in view menu to make it at par with the existing experience

New in Transform Each:
New in Transform Each: Absolute Scaling Option. The Scale section of the Transform Each dialog now lets you choose between Relative (percentage-based) and Absolute scaling. With the new Absolute option, you can enter exact width and height values to scale objects to consistent, precise dimensions.

Quick Export Function:
Easily export your artwork faster than ever with the new Quick Export function! Now, you can right-click on your artboard and "Export" from the context menu. Your artboards will be automatically selected in to be exported.

New Artboard Context Menu :
You can now right-click directly on any artboard when in artboard edit mode to quickly access a context menu designed to streamline your artboard management.
