This is Illustrator 2020, right?

You might want to read the what's new document.

Did you suggest this because Adobe should have used their new spellcheck feature? OP is pointing out a grammar error in the UI. 

[Rishabh_Tiwari]

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I will pass on your feedback to our Product team and you can do that too by upvoting the request and sharing your comments here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/

This is the best way of communicating with the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases. 

Let us know if this helps or if you need any further help.

Regards

Agree with this. When I saw it, I first thought, "Well, that's not even grammatically correct!" Which it isn't. The word is "anyway". 

But even "anyway" could be confusing to some.

[John Mensinger]

It's not just that either. ". . . is currently getting saved." is wrong as well. The file is being saved.

I am increasingly irritated with updates that are worse than the previous version. InDesign is going through the same hell.

It feels like a con to pay subscription fees for products that are steadily declining in quality and whose UI dialogs are now, evidentally, written by children.

Adobe is a JOKE.

It's irritating me every time i see it! Half expecting the next update to say something like this:

[brandonrike]

Yes! Exactly. Glad I'm not the only one dumbfounded by this. BUT my bigger question is why do we even need this dialog box in the first place? Can't AI just save the thing and we close it? We clearly want to close the document, so aren't we always going to prefer "Save Anyways?"

Seems unecessary. Just close the document. How you choose to save it is, like, your business, er whatever.

[Monika Gause]

Illustrator 2020 saves in the background, so you can do something else why it's saving your huge file. You can just open a new document or switch tabs, but you might not want to just "close anyway" a document that is currently being saved.

[SJRiegel]

Does that mean that "Close Anyways" cancels the save in progess, and closes the docuement un-saved, or just closes mid-save? The first of those should be indicated clearly, Close Without Saving, perhaps. The second seems like a disaster waiting to happen, and should not be allowed at all.

[jrhendrickson]

YES! "Close anyways" completely closes the file like a force quit and EVERYTHING is lost. A hard lesson learned, I mistakenly chose it the first time I saw it thinking it would close when it was finished saving. Nope! An hour of work went into bitspace. Technology is such a time saver! [sarcasm]

PS: Don't let the programmers do the editorial work!

[Ton Frederiks]

The problem is that you múst click something before you can continue working in another document. The dialog does not go away when the document is saved and you did not click a button..

[John Mensinger]

". . . you might not want to just "close anyway" a document that is currently being saved."

Uh yeah, I'd say that's what's wrong with this dialog (besides the inexcusable grammatical errors). Any user who initiates a Save, then issues a File > Close command before the save is complete, would want the app to simply finish saving then close the file. If that means a message pops up stating the file will close after the file-write is complete, that would be fine. But why would anyone want the option of closing the file (anyways) mid-save, losing their work, and potentially corrupting the file . . . and why would the app present a button to make it happen? This stinks of something that was never formalized, and never intended to be included in a final release.

[isaiahb285683]

This "feature" is an excellent example of Adobe's ongoing attempts to expand its market to novice users by stating the obvious with pop-ups, tooltips, tutorials, etc. The apps are increasingly cumbersome and needlessly complicated. 

[line1218]

I am really angry about this.

[Ton Frederiks]

Dialog changed in update 24.0.1

[line1218]

This has now been fixed in the latest update! "Close Anyways" is no longer even an option.

Thank you Adobe for listening you little tinker.

[sarahs91449892]

Thank you. It sounds that way because it is not a word. I was pretty disturbed at the use of "anyways" in a professional software application. 

[ViolentlyHappy]

This is embarrassing.

Not sure which is worse, getting saved or Anyways. How did this happen? Nevermind, please demote the A to lowercase and drop the infuriating s. I am going crazy seeing that box pop up all day. Oh, and I would suggest being saved. Getting is another of those anyways-type words when used in that context. Not great.

[Monika Gause]

Maybe you should update your software, because this has already been addressed in a fix.

[Irshad231675651dxr]

This is the same error could you people please fix it at the earliest it is irritating

[Abhishek Rao]

Hi @Irshad231675651dxr,

Thanks for reporting this. Could you share which version of Illustrator and OS you're on, along with the OS details? If you're not already on the latest release, please update Illustrator and check if the issue still appears. If it does, try signing out of the Creative Cloud Desktop app, restarting your machine, and signing back in. Also, please test if the same behavior occurs in any other Creative Cloud app when trying to save. This will help narrow things down.

Looking forward to your update.
