Add colors from CC Libraries to the assets panel
Unlike other Adobe applications adding colors in XD is not intuitive or even able to be accomplished without clicking on a drawn asset or word. Why is there a greyed out "+" next to the word "colors" under assets?
It would better serve the designer to give them the ability to import all assets up front to include any swatches or themes they have created using Adobe Capture CC. This is currently not allowed as all themes created online, in Photoshop or Illustrator come up as "unsupported" when looking in the CC libraries panel.
Not one designer I've spoken to who uses XD can explain how to get those colors into XD without going one at a time into the application where you can see the CC Library or swatch/theme you created and selecting the colors, then going into XD, creating something, applying the color and then saving that color to the "assets" panel.
In XD 34, your CC Libraries are now available for your use within the new Libraries panel (which replaces the assets panel). Local assets are now a special entry called “Document Assets.”

I would like to second this. I am new to XD and just wasted a lot of time staring at my Color Themes in my Library and wondering why they were showing up in Illustrator but not XD. I thought it was my ignorance rather than the absence of an important feature to make XD consistent with the rest of the suite.
