XD : "View only access" for shared CC library

Hi all,

 

I love new Libraries and I think that's way better from what we had previusly (that was misleading). However, there are some minor issues, e.g. even if I create a file and share a Library from it, in the Creative Cloud app I have "View only access". Does anyone know why is that?

 

(I'd really love to be able to create groups for that Library but I simply can't because of this "View only" limitation!)

@HARSHIKA_VERMA , @ricardor18590360 As Harshika suggested, I've reached to Adobe Customer Care and had a very long session with multiple consultants. What I've learned is quite surprising. This behavior is… intentional.

 

If you upload components and assets from Adobe Xd, you can't do anything about them within the CCDA (Creative Cloud Desktop Application). This is why they put the "View access only" label in the upper right corner. (Yes, it is confusing. In my opinion, it is bad UX and it should be fixed ASAP.)

 

The label is not displayed for the assets that have been uploaded directly to the CCDA. This kind of asset can be organized within the CCDA app, e.g. collected within groups.

Doubling this question, too. I have the same issue when I publish a library in XD -- it is "View only access", and I don't know how to change it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @HARSHIKA_VERMA ,

 

No, it doesn't help. I've created a library (I'm the file and the Library ower) but I in the Creative Cloud I have "View access only" that prevents me from, e.g. creating groups (see attached screenshot).

 

Cheers,

Jacek
