Learn about new features and enhancements in the June 2021 release of Illustrator on the desktop (version 25.3).
Illustrator now lets you rotate the canvas view and change the canvas direction to any angle using the Rotate View tool. All your artboards and visible objects will also be rotated along with the rotation of the canvas view. You can easily modify and edit your artwork in rotated view just like the way you work in normal view.
To bring the canvas view back to its original position, choose View > Reset Rotate View. You can also save the rotated view as a preset for future use.
For more details, see Rotate view.
Illustrator now runs natively on Apple computers with the Apple silicon M1 chip. Experience faster performance while using Illustrator on Apple computers.

Paste text without source formatting
Illustrator now lets you copy text from one document and paste it into another document without retaining the source format. Now, you don't need to remove individual source formats from your document. Simply choose the Edit > Paste without Formatting option to remove the entire formatting in one click.
For more details, see Format type.
Delete hidden layers
The Layers panel now lets you delete hidden layers and sublayers. It is useful when you want to quickly delete all the hidden layers that are not relevant to your artwork. In the Layers panel, click More options and choose Delete Hidden Layers to delete all the layers and sublayers marked invisible.
For more details, see Lock, hide, and delete layers.
