# illustrator_find_unused_swatches Illustrator: List the swatches no artwork uses, as Swatches panel > Select All Unused finds them (a script cannot select swatches in the panel; delete them with delete_swatches). Scans the fills and strokes of every path and text character and the gradients in use; a process swatch counts as used when an object has its exact colour values. Colours used only inside symbols, brushes, graphic styles or effects are not seen, so check the list before deleting Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `illustrator_find_unused_swatches`.
