Step-by-step guide to navigation and installation

Getting Started with Creative Cloud

When you open the Creative Cloud Desktop App, you land in a preview where all available applications are displayed. Here, you can take your time to look around. However, on a limited screen size, the app may appear smaller and may not be fully visible. If you maximize this preview, you will get a better overview of the individual applications available.

Selecting Programs to Install

To install a program, you have three options: Try, Buy, or Install. If you want to try a new program, select the Try option. If you want to purchase a program you are already familiar with, select the corresponding Buy option. If you already own the program or it is available for free, go directly to the Install option.

Launching Programs Directly

Once you have installed a program, you can launch it directly from the app. Visitors to the app can launch Adobe Audition or Lightroom, for example, through the predefined folder on your hard drive. In most cases, the program will open automatically from the folder as long as it is installed.

Uninstalling Programs

If you no longer need programs or want to optimize the storage space on your hard drive, you can uninstall them at any time. Click on the three dots next to the desired application under “All Applications” and select the uninstall option. After uninstallation, the program will be removed from your corresponding folder, making space for new software.

Checking Program Compatibility

An important consideration is system compatibility. Some programs may not be compatible with your operating system. Make sure to regularly perform updates. Sometimes, it is necessary to update your system for the software to function properly.

Navigating in Categories

In the Creative Cloud Desktop App, you can scroll through various categories, such as “Photography” or “Design and Layout”. This allows you to quickly and easily find specialized programs. Note that the app is available for both desktop and mobile systems, so you can access your software on the go.

Updating Programs

If you have already installed programs, you can check under the “Updates” tab to see if new versions are available. Here you can enable automatic updates or manually search for updates. This keeps your software always up to date.

Accessing Help and Preferences

Finally, there is a small icon that leads you to further options. Here you can set the preferences for the app and access additional help features if needed. This ensures that you can customize all settings according to your preferences.
