Control Palette
A precision strip for position, size, scale, rotation, alignment, fill, stroke and opacity. It is the fastest way to make exact numeric edits without opening a modal dialog.
Workspace & palettes
Workspace
Floating palettes for every part of the document.
The interface is organized around small, movable panels. You can keep precision controls, color, layers, typography, links, brushes and automation visible while the canvas remains focused on the artwork.
The main workspace
The full workspace combines a central canvas with the Toolbox, Control Palette, Layers, Swatches, Gradient, Brushes, Symbols, Links, Scripts, AI Console and other panels. Hide all palettes with Tab or keep only the Toolbox with Shift + Tab.

Navigator
The Navigator palette gives a minimap-style view of the document and the current viewport. It is useful when working on detailed posters, illustrations and large artboards.
Resettable workspace
Palettes can be rearranged for drawing, typography, print work, tracing or scripting. Reset Palettes restores a clean default layout when a workspace gets too busy.
Control Palette
Exact X/Y, W/H, scale, rotation, alignment, stroke, fill and corner controls in one horizontal strip.
Layers
Layer visibility, locks, disclosure, object rows, layer colors and stacking controls.
Symbols
A searchable built-in symbol library with document symbols as a separate tab.
Palette style
Compact floating panels keep the app close to the canvas instead of burying controls in inspectors.
