Discovering the brushes in Illustrator

The Astute Manager downloads and installs in the correct Illustrator brushes asset folder. They are not downloaded to your Downloads folder.

Downloaded and installed brushes can all be discovered via the native Brushes panel (Window > Brushes) bottom left Library button and navigating to the User Defined > … submenu.

Saving your cloud storage space

To reduce your cloud storage space requirements (and if you use the Astute Manager Pro service, potential additional charges) the Astute Manager will not allow any unmodified assets within these packs to be stored to the cloud in the local or team Asset Manager.
