I updated to Illustrator 2017 earlier this week and I noticed now, when I hold my cursor over a swatch, it doesn't show me the swatch/Pantone name anymore.
Does anyone know why and how to get that feature back?
Please help.
Thanks!
Actually I just figured it out! Only took me 2 hours lol
I turned on "Show Tool Tips" under my general preferences.

Hi smith.arielle,
Does it shows color values?

If not please save your work and close all Adobe applications.
Reset Preferences for Illustrator for details click here: How to set preferences in Illustrator

Never ran into this problem. I know I was messing with some general settings, but did not think I did anything to change this. A few days later I had the problem. All fixed. Thank you so much!
