Select multiple items across different groups

Shift+Click allows to select multiple items.
Cmd+Click allows to select inside a group.
Cmd+Shift+Click would be nice if it selected items across different groups.

It's very useful to change details (i.e. color) across multiple items inside groups (i.e. icons).

Thanks!

    This took Adobe 3 years to "complete" and it was only halfassed like almost all of XD - this does not work when selecting items within stacks. Please just discontinue Xd, put us out of our misery so we are forced into using the clearly superior Figma...

    Can anyone confirm this worked? I've tried CMD + SHIFT + CLICK and it doesn't for me. I can only select the groups and not the items within them.

  • plainclothes commented  ·   ·  Report

    This feature is incomplete: I have to unstack my group to select within the child groups.

    Clearly, as a central feature of XD, stacks should be supported … 2 years later.

    This is not working. I'm trying to select every single asset to Mark for Export, and it only will select the groups, without selecting everything inside. Even when all of the groups are opened/expanded, this does not work.

  • JK commented  ·   ·  Report

    Doesn't work if any of the groups has Stack enabled.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    It doesnt work on Mac. Only 1 item can be selected at once.

  • Jenni commented  ·   ·  Report

    How do we select individual parts of separate groups to edit together? What's the key sequence? Thanks!

  • Patric commented  ·   ·  Report

    doesn't work for me anymore

    I can select an individual object within a component with CMD+Click, but i cannot select multiple objects across different components with the CMD+Shift+Click?

  • alanjawn commented  ·   ·  Report

    but you cannot select them if they are on different artboards?

  • Cyrill Studer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thanks for the feature. But it doesn't work if an object is within a mask. Any reason for this? I'd like objects in masks to behave the same way in this regard.

    Hey everybody,

    Adobe Xd 17.0 (released today) added selection across different groups, give it a try.

  • alanjawn commented  ·   ·  Report

    especially while searching, i.e. I should be able to name items uniquely and search then simply shift+select them all from the layers panel, even if they are in different artboards.

  • Robbie commented  ·   ·  Report

    I still don't see how this is not the number one request. It's such a basic necessity when designing a layout. It doesn't necessarily have to be handled how the OP mentions above. You should just be able to command+click any items on screen or in the layers panel whether they are in the same group or not!

    HOW is that not working in 2019? My first touch with XD and i hope my last. Sketch is miles ahead...
