What's New?
Nebula Sidebar
The new customisable sidebar that lets you discover the latest features.
Palettes
The Palettes largely correspond with the Classic sidebar's view modes. They offer the same functions as the Classic sidebar. They differ in that they are optional, selectable, dockable, movable and collapsible.
If not already displayed, the Palettes need to be selected from a dock panel. This Palettes dock panel displays all available palettes with their description.
Palettes are sorted alphabetically. The alphabetical order can be modified and will be maintained as long as the dock remains open. Resorting can be done by reopening the dock, or clicking the sort button.
The dock panel features a search function to rapidly find an appropriate palette. The search function looks inside both palette names and descriptions and highlights matches with part of the search string as it is typed.
The following palettes are available:
- General Information
- Thumbnails
- Separations
- Layers
- View Options
- Notes
- Reports
- Font Properties
- Braille Detection

Bug Fix
Fixed: With files created in Illustrator 30.2/30.3 and saved either as Ai with "Create PDF Compatible File” or as PDF with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities”, a bug in Illustrator created duplicate gradient definitions. This caused files to crash when opened. Additional validation now resets any duplicate gradient definitions.
