Library items not accessible

[Feldbot]

I am new to Express and am trying to view a library I created. When I click the Libraries tab on left toolbar, it lists the libraries I have created (simple color swatches). When I click on a library expecting to see my library, however, what I get is a window that says "Start adding to your library" (see screenshot). I am not sure why my library would not show up here automatically and is only prompting for me to add content and not showing my swatches. Do color swatches not work with Express? How do I see my library assets?

According to the following page from the online Adobe Express User Guide, Adobe Express supports assets in CC Libraries that are JPG, PNG, SVG, GIF, PNG, PSD & AI file types. It doesn't appear to support color swatches:

However, you could add an asset to a CC Library that contains the color you want. Then, when you want to use that color, you can sample it.

Thanks very much for the helpful answer Myra, I didn't see that anywhere in my searching. That would definitely be a great feature to support as libraries work with swatches outside of Express, so the expectation is they would be there. Until then your workaround seems like a good one. Thanks again for taking the time to help!

You're very welcome. 🙂

You might post your feature request to the Uservoice page for Adobe Express and for CC Libraries. That's where the product teams will see it:

Where does it say that on the page you linked, I am not seeing it.  Furthermore, does that mean I can't access my cc library videos within express?  Even if those videos were licensed from adobe stock?

Hi

We're sorry to hear about this. Are you able to see the CC library video in other apps? To better assist you further, could you please elaborate more on the issue you're seeing?

We're here to help, just need some info.
