Live color preview

[Mediaemerson]

When I select an object I used to change the color and have a live preview before choosing it...why is not available anymore???

[Ton Frederiks]

Currently only in the Color Panel.

[Mediaemerson]

"Currently" means is going to come back or is it a definitive bye bye?

[Ton Frederiks]

Only Adobe staff can give you a definitive answer. 

[Mediaemerson]

Ok sorry I was thinking that you are from Adobe...thanks

[Ton Frederiks]

No, Community Experts are volunteers trying to answer questions. Adobe Staff has an Adobe logo.

[Mediaemerson]

Got it! thanks

[Mediaemerson]

Still waiting for some fixing...this is really annoying...

[Monika Gause]

Using the color panel is not an option?

If you want an answer from Adobe staff, you might want to post at https://illustrator.uservoice.com

But probably even they can't or won't give you an answer.

Hey it is not a matter of color panel as an option...it is so much easier to adjust color when you are seeing changing in the context in the illustration, the worst thing is that always worked that way...they just messed up this version I think...but thanks...

Hello @Mediaemerson,

Sorry for the delayed response. We are sorry to hear about this experience. The product team has currently disabled the option for Live Preview as it was causing issues. Kindly stay tuned for a fix in a future release.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Anubhav
