Question

CC Libraries asset names change

When I upload an asset into creative cloud from Illustrator, the asset name uploads as Artwork 1, despite the file name. I can rename the asset in the CC Library and that name will appear in the library correctly.

When I use the same asset in InDesign, the link in my InDesign file says Artwork 1 again. Multiple assets that are completely different now all have the Artwork 1 file name. How do I fix this?

    I just figured this out! In Illustrator, drag your asset to a new document and click the "Edit Original" button. There you can rename the layer in the Layers window. Once you save, it should update the name. 🙂

    I am running into this problem too. CCLibrary the ai file is called "Piano" but when I place it into Indesign it's called "artwork 63.ai" I tried what you suggest here and it somehow didn't work for me.  I'd love to solve this problem.  Hopefully Adobe catches on and solves this little glitch in their programming.

    Hi @Teresa5EB2 @irenesmid @meganf44154656,

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. I would request you to please share a few more details like:

    • Operating System (macOS/ Windows 10 or 11)
    • The exact version of InDesign and Illustrator
    • Screenshot of the issue. It would be really helpful.

     

    Looking forward to your response.

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Anshul Saini

    I had this a few weeks back - there was an update to some adobe apps and it fixed itself once i updated. Prior to the update I found that it only happened when both indeisgn and illustrator were opened together. If i did everything in illustrator and saved the asset into the library AND THEN opened indesign it was ok...
    Please try and let me know

    Hi Ian, thanks so much for the response. It sounded very promising but unfortunately didn't work. I made sure that my OS and Adobe apps were up-to-date. Restarted. Worked only in Illustrator, then moved to InDesign, but still no luck.
