I've been working on some icons, and there are certain shapes I need to expand the appearance of so that when shrunken down, the shapes won't change. However, with this new update, I don't have the option to even click Expand Appearance (it's grayed out), and when I click Expand, nothing happens. I believe I was using a 2019 version beforehand, though I've read that 2019 versions have problems as well.
Has anyone figured out a solution, or know which one of the older versions still has the feature functioning?

"Has anyone figured out a solution, or know which one of the older versions still has the feature functioning?"
The feature at-large is working, so here isn't anything to figure out.
How is the icon (that you're attempting to expand) constructed? If it is just filled paths, Object > Expand will produce no visible result. Can you post a screen shot with the object(s) selected and the Layers panel in view?

Hi @Rishabh_Tiwari and @John Mensinger , actually, I currently have the same issue than John, what I am trying to expland is a 3D extruded circle, see my screenshots attached, what steps I might be overloonking? Same thing: "click Expand Appearance (it's grayed out), and when I click Expand, nothing happens."
Even selecting Path > Outline Stroke doesn´t seem to work.

Hi! just found it, was looking in the wrong section, it should be:
Object > Expand Experience, referencing screenshot.
Thank you all! @Rishabh_Tiwari @John Mensinger

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. Please ensure that the object you wish to expand should be selected and the layers should not be locked.
Regards

Is this happening just on one document or with all documents created? If just the one document then make sure that nothing about each icon is either locked or hidden. If it is happening universally then you may need to trash preferences.

Same for me. I can see expand option greyed out. Does anybody know what's going on?
