Color (theme) swatches from CC library to Illustrator not working

Hi

The problem, as I’ve understood it, is that if you add a global color to your cc library you can’t add in to your swatches when you’re in a new illustrator document. It works fine for colors that aren’t global colors

Hope it helps

Same problem here. 
have I understood it correctly that it's just possible to add a color group to your cc library and share it to your other documents as long as it's not global colors? 

if you're trying this with global colors you end up with empty color folders in the swatch panel and/or spot colors? 

 

Yes, global colors in a color group don't work.

If you want to use global colors, you need to add one or more objects filled with these global colors to the library and Alt drag them into new documents to add them to swatches (see my post above to LindaFazili).

Global colors, gradients, brushes and pattern swatches are not 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 colors together into a CC library to simulate a library.

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.
