    Is there a efficient way to find the location of a Live Effect used in a complex drawing?

    When you create an Effect, give it a Name.

    In Pro, use the Name gallery and click on the Used Name.

    So, you're saying that's the only way then. The reason I asked is because the deed is already done.

    Ron, you asked for an efficient way.

    If you had Pro 365 then Live effects are labelled in the Page & Layer gallery.

    If you are trying to isolate an Effect then you could apply a blink check.
    Assume the Effect is on one page.

    Highlight everything.
    Select the FX Tool.
    You will have <Many> appear in the display field.
    Click the Delete all effects icon.

    Watching the page, Undo and Redo repeatedly until you see the object with the Effect.
    Select just that and now you can see what Effects modify it.
