The Astute Manager panel and how to use it

The Astute Manager Panel in Adobe Illustrator is an intuitive traffic light panel which gives all Team Members real-time feedback on shared assets to notify everyone instantly on whether they're up to date or out of sync. It serves as an asset update notification system for anyone using an Astute Manager pro subscription as part of a Team.

It can be found within Illustrator by going to Window > Astute Graphics > Astute Manager.

Imagine you’re part of a big team and someone has updated the current swatches for the brand guide. The Astute Manager panel can ensure quick teamwide notification of this change.

When everything us up to date a green light will show. But if something is out of sync and requires updating, you will see a red light and a See changes notification.
