This is too important not to be in the next release. It's crucial for our team to be able to publish design updates even if they did not originally create the file. XD is meant for teams right?

i'd like to be able to give permission to another team member to update de link.

almost 3 years and it wasn't done yet... how many developers Adobe has it, working on Adobe XD, to improve the suggestions? Adobe, please hire more developers urgent!!! Because without this funcionallity, the "share document on the cloud", or even if I send by email or a Git repository the same XD file to my partner - it's useless for teamwork! Everybody could update the link, not only the creator! What if the creator is in a vacation or get sick?

This is definitely a necessary feature. In tech, we call this the "bus factor"; how many people would have to be hit by a bus to cause major problems in development? In this case, you've designed XD prototype updating to have a bus factor of 1, which is very, very bad.

Please enable multiple owners for the same file.

@Paul I never said it was flawless ;) But it's easier to change the links in the shortener rather than explaining everytime that the link as changed...

@Vnz - That’s a great idea, but I don’t think you solved Christopher’s problem. Even with a URL shortened, you still have to have the single owner of the design file to be the one that updates the links that you put into the shortened.

@Christopher : I solved the problem by running an url shortener on our servers. This way, I can change the link and it is transparent for clients and dev teams

I'm not the owner of the document, but I'm a coeditor who does most of the design work on the document. After completing the design, you need to ask the owner to update the link, which I think is a very inconvenient process. Please allow non-owner coeditors to create links that can be shared.

Our workflow is delayed by a full day because Adobe doesn't have this capability. When XD file owner is on holiday our publishing can be delayed an entire week! When we terminate an employee we have to save all our files locally, upload them to another user's profile, and inform all our developers that the URLs have changed.

Currently the only person who can update the link for a shared prototype, is the document owner. In our organisation, this creates a lot of friction in our design process, because the document owner might be busy with other things at the time the design specs link needs to update.

Please consider allowing document owners to give team members access to update links.

Agree. This is essential along with the ability to add multiple owners for when owners are away or team members leave etc.

Now that we have coediting available this needs doing asap!

It's frustrating that I have to ask my colleague to update a link just because I made a small change and need to show a PO the update but can't because he created the document!

Hi,
It's an essential feature because the team can't be stopped when the creator is missing !!!

This is a mission-critical feature whose absence is breaking workflows worldwide. As stated by others, implementing collaborative features and then making them irrelevant in the same breath is awkward at best - and and worst threatens the XD Product Team's streak of recent wins.

Extending the functionality, consider a "Don't allow link publishing" for those cases in which one genuinely doesn't want such functionality - such a use case certainly exists.

Thanks Adobe, I still love you!

I would also like this feature in an XD update.

Can this also allow collaborators to invite new collaborators? I allowed co-editing to my CTO, but he's unable to invite a new dev to the document, only I can as the file owner. As a contractor, this obviously slows down their flow.

Or is there an easy way to transfer ownership to the CTO so that he can add and remove collaborators as needed, as long as I can still update the designs?

I will not switch my team to the premium plan without this feature. It's an ESSENTIAL feature !!

This is insane to me that you are allowing cloud sharing of a project but not allowing a basic function to be shared with the ability to allow multiple users to push an updated link. Makes sharing cloud documents kind of pointless.

Hi, I have paid an app company to create a prototype for a couple of apps. I'm not going ahead with the development of the apps through this company and they originally told me that if I didn't want to continue then I could take the prototype with me. However all I am able to get is a link. There is no way of me transferring the prototype to my adobe account even though I own the IP. If I want another company to make some changes then they have to start from scratch because they can't make changes as it stands at the moment.
So really I'm not in control of my own IP.

I think that it is about time since multiple people are working with the same file
