This is a companion article to the CI HUB Beginners Guide. You will need to review both articles to get started using the Connector.
Installing the CI HUB Connector
To install the CI HUB Connector in Adobe Express:
Open Adobe Express (via browser or Creative Cloud desktop app).
Click the + button to create a new document (e.g., square format).
In the left-hand panel, click Add-ons.
Use the search bar to find CI HUB Connector.
Click Add to install the connector.
The CI HUB Connector will launch automatically after installation.
Adobe Express CI HUB Specific Features and Limitations
Limitations
Panel Layout
The CI HUB panel in Adobe Express is always full-height. This is a limitation of the Adobe Express environment and cannot be resized.
No External Content Panel (ExCoP)
You may see mentions in other CI HUB help articles of an external content panel marked with a link icon. This is not supported within the Google Workspace connector. It’s worth noting that these limitations are due to lack of need/support within Google Workspace itself, and may not be noticeable while using the Connector.
This means there is no support for:
Checking the version of the placed asset
Warnings when a used asset has been updated in Frontify
Linking assets to their local or cloud version
Status regarding local availability
Information regarding missing assets
Moving the source of the asset (from Cloud to local)
FAQ
Q: Can I place vector files into Adobe Express from Frontify or Dropbox?
A: Yes. Use the Rendition feature to place vector graphics (e.g., .AI, .EPS) as PNG or JPEG renditions.
