I cannot find the smooth tool for adobe illustrator anywhere. This happened when I switched to the Adobe CC 2019 and the Mohave update. Can anyone help me?

Thank you

The Toolbar is editable in Illustrator CC 2019, and the Smooth Tool does not appear in it by default, the Basic setting. You may:

1. Click the Edit Toolbar button (the … at the bottom of the Toolbar), find the Smooth Tool in the revealed list, and drag it to where you want it in the Toolbar.

2. Click the Edit Toolbar button, click the menu bottom in the upper right corner, and click on Advanced. This will put all tools, including the Smooth Tool, into the Toolbar. I believe they are positioned as they are in CC 2018.

When updating your application please read the new features summaries as well as the popups that tell you what's new.

I usually assume these pop-ups are telling what new features have been added, NOT the fact that a very useful tool I've been using for years has been moved to an obscure new location

The Smooth tool has not been moved. It's still in one group with the pencil tool.
