Material browser is unintuitive and lacks cloud sync for custom libraries
Merchants find the material browser difficult to use for customizing or adding specific materials. The favorites system is confusing, creating custom materials requires unnecessary steps, and custom libraries are not synced to the cloud, making it hard to work across multiple computers.

§ Evidence — 3 verified quotes
Why is there a whole library for Favorites that exists on its own? If I add something to favorites, it acts like a completely different thing, rather than simply a reference or tag to the single material definition in the source library.
Making a custom material is infuriating. Why do I have to duplicate an existing material from a library into Favorites, then change things from there?
If I do make a custom material library, it appears to only exist locally. I bounce between a few computers, so why can't I have my custom material libraries in the cloud, like everything else?
