Live Color
Explore color harmonies and dynamically apply color at once to multiple vector graphics. With Live Color, you can
discover new color combinations, quickly test them, and then save and reuse them. You can preview changes to your
artwork, shift an artwork’s entire tone by playing with the color wheel, or merely adjust one color with maximum
precision. (See “Live Color overview” on page 112.)
Swatches panel
Save a color group to the Swatches panel so you can quickly refer back to a favorite set of colors. (See “Save Color
Guide colors to the Swatches panel” on page 112.)
Isolation mode
Use isolation mode to protect areas of an artwork from being edited. You can group, hide, lock, and restack layers
with confidence, knowing that isolated portions of your artwork will not be inadvertently changed. (See “Isolate
groups and sublayers” on page 194.)
