Here you will find information about your current version type. Knowing your version accurately is crucial, especially when troubleshooting or performing system updates.

If you encounter errors, you can create a log file using the help function. This is particularly useful if you need support from Adobe. You will be redirected to a website where you can download the appropriate tool for your operating system. This tool creates a ZXP file that can help you track down and fix issues.

To ensure that you are using the latest features, you should regularly check for updates. Under the “Help” menu, you have the option to check for updates directly. Just click “Check for Updates” to download and install the current version of Creative Cloud. This ensures that your software is up to date.
Step 4: Sign out and sign in a new user
If you are working with different people on projects, it is often useful to sign out and sign in with a different account. You can also do this in the menu under “Help.” Signing out allows you to switch your settings and adjust the cloud environment to your needs.
Step 5: Overview of your libraries
To work more efficiently, it is important to have a good overview of your libraries. Just click on the libraries icon in the Creative Cloud app. This will optimize the display and give you more space to keep track of your projects and media. This small but fine adjustment contributes to user-friendliness.
