Known issues:

When performing different workflows, you may experience slight differences in performance.

  • Unable to drag and drop/place CC Library assets into the documents.
  • Operations done on Asset Web take time to reflect in the CC Library in InDesign.
  • Duplication of an element from Stock in CC Library does not work.
  • An error popup appears on launch indicating missing color files, but you may proceed by dismissing it.
