Allow multiple people to share a link to the same published URL (multiple owners of a Prototype or Design Spec)
Collaborative work: Updating 'share link' of an .xd file not possible on another machine
System: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
XD-Version: 0.8.22.17 Beta
We are working with different people on the same .xd file. Updating the prototype link is only possible on the machine with wich the .xd file was created. The other people can only create new links.
- Create an .xd file
- Publish prototype
- Save the .xd file
- Open the same .xd file on another machine
- Updating the published prototype link not possible (only creation of new link)
We announced CC Spaces in XD today at Adobe MAX! In a space, all members will be able to publish a link. More details to come!

Hi Adobe team, we are in the dire need to have this feature released asap. My laptop crashed recently and it became really difficult for my team members to publish the designs from the file which I owned. Our client deliverables were impacted and it didn't turn out that well for us. Kindly push this feature out on priority. This will be a great help to the design community and design consultancies who rely on Adobe products for their deliverables. Thank you.

Hi Adobe, this feature is extremely important, especially now as many more teams are working from home due to quarantine. Please expedite!

Hi Adobe team
please, we really need this please. I had redesigned a whole website, shared all the links with the devs and now that I am going on maternity leave and handing over all the job I am realising this is not really possible as would need to change all the links ... devs won't be happy about it :/
Thank you for your help!

Hi. It looks like this feature request was made 2.5 yr. ago. Is there an estimate as to when it will be implemented?
I see that in Nov it was marked as "backlog," does that mean it is not being considered for any upcoming releases or that it's not being actively worked on?
Thanks!

We are working as a team and have files in our local machine and generate prototype links for dev team.. When the owner of the file is absent. we make the updates in the same XD file but from a different system. Is there a way we can use the same published link to share with the developers? So that the developer can keep using the same link.

Hi everyone, just this week, the owner of the file was not available and we needed to quickly create a link of the prototype to add to a final deck for the client. I had to open a new version of the file so I could have access and create a temporary Share link. Ideally, for us at least, if we are coediting and working off that file, we all should have access to creating a Share link. Since there is a backlog of all links created, it seems like it wouldn't be an issue if someone else besides the owner create a new link. It sure felt like a limitation this week to have only the owner the access to create new Share links. Thank you much for all your attention! <3

Elaine / Jacob Goldstein,
- this feature;
- component links is not extended when used in different screens. It's usefull for toolbars, menus, etc; I use to copy from screen to another one in "prototype" mode, but if the link changes, I have to change in all of screens!!! That's nonsense! Components should be usefull to work less, not more!
- iframe with URL navigation, to show to clients when using webviews;
- bigger "destionation link pages" (wtf is too small to search there - and with search option) -

I think this has enough backing to get the feature out of backlog and into development. I think multiple people should be able to manage links and push to shared links across users.
Ideas: Create User Groups "Team":
- Owner/Admin ability to add Adobe Users to "Team", grant them access / permission to shared links and other possible member management
- Team member with permission allowed to update/revise links across "Team"
- Owner/Admin ability to Manage users in that "Team"
- Ability to comment as "Team" or individual user on prototypes -

Agreeing with everyone here! I've just had to go away on holiday and while my team were able to update the file, they couldn't update the link to share the updates with the stakeholders because I'm the owner! Very frustrating! We can't keep changing the link because the Dev team will get confused and be working from the wrong link (already happened once).

Adding my voice to this request please! It really does defeat the purpose of collaboration! Thank you!

Hello,
updating of shared link is available only for an owner. However some working situations require other designers to do the update themselves. Would be useful having an ability for owner to grant other participants permission to do so.
Thanks

+100 on this. Almost defeats collaborative editing when only one person can publish, especially for remote teams across multiple timezones who need to update links for client presentations (for example)

I agree with Edward, in the previous comment. This feature needs to be added ASAP! This is critical, and it's been backlogged for way too long.

Edward commented
Hi Guys, please can this feature be moved up in priority as this is causing a lot of problems with our teams!
And this has been a request form 2017 already! -

This feature is crucial to collaborative working. When will it be implemented?

Shan commented
When will this be delivered? We are attempting to work as a team and I'm dumbfounded that Adobe doesn't offer this capability.

Should rather be "In Progress" than just "Feature in the Backlog" (!).

This feature is essential!

Good to hear that it is now included in the backlog at least.
I can only agree with everyone else, this feature is crucial. This tool becomes almost impossible to use on bigger projects in a team if the ownership of a file isn't shared. We have a enterprise account and I would even go as far as saying that the organisations should own the file, not a single individual.
As people have previously pointed out, what happens if that person disappears because of what ever reason (hit by bus, goes on holiday, quits in rage or whatever)... -

This feature is so important!! I'm owner of the document but going away for 3 weeks and now there is no way the other designer can update the design links...
