Can patterns be added to a organization-shared Library?

[Aaron22017780e7jg]

So to my understanding there are two types of libraries:

1) The kind saved as AI files from a particular panel (Symbols, Swatches, etc) that can be opened in said panels to access those resources from the AI file while in a different AI file.

2) The kind that is created via the Libraries window that can be shared with the organization your account is linked to, without need for file sharing.

I want to know if there's a way to save patterns in #2 so that other people at my company can access to them without being sent or having access to an AI file. I have a poor understanding of how #2 works, but so far it seems that patterns specifically are off limits for that type of Library.

Pattern swatches, Global colors, Spot colors, Gradients AND Brushes are not very well supported in CC libraries.

But as a workaround you can drag an object using a brush/pattern/gradient/global color to the CC Library

You can also drag multiple items using different brushes/patterns/gradients/global/spot colors together into a CC library to simulate a library. Text objects must be grouped before adding them as graphics.

The easiest way to add them to a new document is to hold down the Alt key when you drag them from the library and place them in a new document. The patterns/gradients/global colors automatically get added to your swatches panel.

You can hit escape before you click to place the object(s) or delete the dragged library items because the swatches and brushes are now part of the document.
