Adobe reversed its decision to discontinue the animation software, Adobe Animate, following user concerns. The application will now enter "maintenance mode."
Animate will no longer receive new feature updates under this mode. It will continue to receive security updates and bug fixes.
The software remains available indefinitely for both new and existing customers, reversing the previously communicated retirement plan. The potential shutdown previously triggered backlash from creators and animators who rely on the software. Users stated alternatives were unsuitable replacements.
