Create and edit on any device

When you create in Illustrator on iPad your project is synced to Adobe's Cloud.

It autosaved while you work.

This makes that document available anywhere you log in, including Illustrator on your computer whenever you want without losing work, saving or even having to export.

I'm working on this project on the iPad and I'm making some adjustments to one of the gradients.

With a document open on your iPad, you can go to the Home screen up here, tap Your work, and you can see your Cloud documents as well as Deleted documents.

Now when you're looking at your Cloud documents, you can view them in different ways.

You can organize them by folders up here after you create a folder and you name it.

You can then drag documents into that folder.

Now say you want to switch over to desktop Illustrator to continue working on your project.

With Illustrator open on your desktop and you logged in using the same Adobe ID, clicking Cloud documents, you can see the same documents you saw on the iPad.

Tapping to open one, it's synced and open.

You find the content is completely editable, including the text, and I can make any changes or additions I need.

Now I need to make a version of this artwork, so I'll make a copy of the artboard.

Then I'll select these letters and add a drop shadow over in the Properties panel just to see what it looks like and make a few adjustments to it.

With the changes made, Illustrator auto saves the Cloud document and you can return to the iPad to keep working on it.

Back on the iPad in Illustrator after the syncing is complete, I can tap to open that same document.

You can see that the second artboard and the drop shadow on the artwork are now there.

I just need to make one more quick change here.

When finished, you can tap in the upper left corner to go back to the Home screen.

Now as you work on your projects on iPad or desktop, you can view the version history of a document.

Maybe you want to go back and see and even revert to a previous change.

If you tap the ellipsis here below a document thumbnail you can choose View version history from the menu.

On the iPad, the document is open in a separate window and you can tap a version and save that version by naming it.

So maybe you can go back to it any time, or even revert to a version.

I'll revert back to this version to remove the alternate I created on the desktop, and then close the window.

In your workflow, you may also want to share your documents with others maybe to show someone an idea you're working on.

You can do so in a number of ways.

With a document open, you can tap Export and you can see the different formats you can export as including native Illustrator and Photoshop.

If you export this way you get a file you can share how you want, like maybe via email.

Working with Cloud documents means you can take your work on the go, sketching, drawing, playing with concepts and even switch between Illustrator on the desktop and the iPad easily.

You have a lot of ways to be able to share your documents with others.

And sharing is a great way to work more collaboratively.
