Recommendations
We recommend that you enable:
✅ Start Overlord on login
✅ Auto update Adobe extension
This will make sure that Overlord is running when you restart your computer (which you should probably do more often), and whenever you install an app update, the extension that talks to Illustrator and After effects will also update.

App targeting
In v1, messages were crudely sent to any app with a matching name. If you had 2 versions of Ae open, both would create layers in both. For some users, multiple versions of Ae would open. There was also no way to know if there was a problem with a host app receiving messages.
In v2, you send messages to a specific apps and are only able to send to apps that are open. What you see on this page is much clearer picture of how Overlord sharing data.
