Where are the built in tutorials?

[camerond59583709]

When I first opened up illustrator, I had some simple guided tutorials built in (not online) that I could follow. The moment I completed them, they are no longer available and when I click Learn or Help I'm continuously guided online. I want to repeat those same in built tutorials once more as they were very helpful.

There are edited versions of those same tutorials online but Adobe has edited content/ useful information, they are not anywhere near as good. I contacted Adobe helpdesk through Chat and they didn’t really understand what those tutorial were and asked me to read the manual. There was nothing in the manual, so they suggested I  remove and reload Illustrator on  my PC to get those tutorials back. Not very good service IMO - shouldn't the team at Adobe know their own product?.  Any idea how I get those tutorials back?

Hi,

in the latest update of illustrator, I found the tutorial in a Learn section at the top left of the welcome screen (see screenshot below.

I gets the items from the following link

In case you're referring to the tutorials that open in small panel windows, then you might be out of luck, because many are built to demo the new features of that specific version. So when you're using a different version, there might be different tutorials for different features. In case you're referring to the Learn panel, then as far as I know it shows the same information that's available online. But I can't test it, because this panel is not available to everyone.

In case you're using the same version as before, you could try and delete the preferences (or just rename the preferences folder, which causes Illustrator to create new preferences). This causes Illustrator to show the information windows again.

How to rename the folder and where it is: How to set preferences in Illustrator

Important: you need to first quit Illustrator.

This is my first version of Illustrator and I’ve only had it about a week. These first tutorials were not videos like those online but were step by step flows which only moved one step at a time, with blue ‘useful tips’ boxes; There was no narration.  They appeared the moment I
opened Illustrator and there were about 6 of them. One included making the robot as seen in the online video, however the step by step guides were much more in-depth and gave some useful info. I had decided I wanted to go through them again but as soon as I completed the last one, they all disappeared and have been replaced by all the online videos as seen in Eric’s image above.  The most interesting point is that the robot image video is quite different in content towards the end from the step by step tutorial.

Every link to help or Learn always takes me online to the same set of help videos.

The chap at Adobe wrote I would have to uninstall and reinstall to get those step by step tutorials back again, but that seems like a lot of hard work.

I hope that explains a bit more?

Can you try and rename the preferences folder or just reset the preferences? For me this always brings back the blue tipps windows.

There are a million amazing super detailed tutorials on YouTube.

And since Lynda.com has moved to LinkedIn Learning there are some there as well.

It really depends on what you want learn.  LinkedIn Learning has some comprehensive Tutorails that cover everything.  But once you are mastered then you can go for tutorials on YouTube.

I try to be very careful when recommending YouTube as a source of tutorials, but instead point users to specific channels that I reviewed and know they offer resources that are good usually hidden in the middle of poor quality/relevance videos.

Thanks Monika for your suggestion.

The only Preferences I can find are in Edit: Preferences: General and there is nothign there like folders or where I can do anything to reactivate

KShinabery212, Thank you for highlighting that there many other tutorials out there, appreciated,  and I've now seen quite a few of them. My question has always been how to put back those tutorials that my Illustrator package came with as they were rather good and better than the videos I've seen so far.

I'm just surprised that no one from Adobe seesm to know what to do.

Cam.

To find the preferences you need to go to the specified folder on your computer.

You will need to use the Windows Explorer (or whatever file manager you use).

And you need to quit Illustrator before you do that.
