Frequently asked questions

Which Illustrator versions are supported?

Adobe Illustrator 26.0 or later.

Why does a button sometimes not run?

Some commands need an open document, a selection or a specific mode. Illustrator refuses them when the context is wrong, and Quick Panel shows that clearly.

Can I share my panels?

Yes. Export a workspace to JSON and import it elsewhere.

Is it a subscription?

No. Quick Panel is a one-time purchase on Adobe Exchange.
