You Asked, We Listened
Real updates, inspired by educator feedback!
Hey friends đ So many of the best ideas for Adobe Express come from you, the teachers and educators who use it in the classroom with your students. When you say, âI wish Adobe Express couldâŚâ our team takes note. This web page is where weâll keep sharing the improvements that came directly from your feedback (aaand a peek at whatâs in the works)!
#1. Bulk download all student work as one print-ready PDF!

âI am desperate for this feature. Recently I decided to use Google Slides instead of Express because it was easier to print. Iâm currently stalling on downloading individual portraits because I know it will take an hour or more.â â ACE Educator

You know, hint hint hint.â

ACE Innovator Tania Gonzalez (TX, USA) used this new feature with her 7th graders studying The Early People of Texas. They used generative AI text-to-image in Adobe Express to share their reflections in a class Gallery, turning a social studies lesson into a real student showcase.
