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!

If not added soon I'm sure this is going to be a real deal breaker for lots of design teams, that need to REAL COLLABORATE across team members, without having to create a new link, hence avoiding leaving behind outdated links everywhere that disrupt the development progress., without taking aside this is costing lots of money to companies because they are building code from an outdated link.
Adobe with this issue you are intentionally:
- Creating us unnecessary admin time
- Disrupting the creative workflow
- Annoying the relationship between clients - developers - designers
- Generating money loss to companies
- Making exported links attached to Jira integration pretty unreliables.
- etc...and to close...
quote Jacob Goldstein (Adobe XD) (Engineering Manager, Adobe)
"This behavior in XD is intentional"great....

Allow invited user share prototypes for review.

Yes, this would make collaborating much easier! Not having the ability to designate others as an owner (or the option for a single owner to allow non-owners to publish) is a regular issue for the team I work with. Perhaps when inviting another person to edit a file (cloud doc) there is an option you can check to allow that person to publish/update the prototype and design specs – this can be toggled on/off for each person invited.

As a studio of 5 users working sometimes on the same files, this is a nightmare...

When can we expect this feature to be implemented?

Chris H commented
This is a must have and please can you add this feature as soon as possible.

Chris H commented
It's a real must have else contributing to a file with multiple editors/publishers is impossible.. I have a file that someone else created. the published for review link has been commented on by a client.. I can't update the doc with out a new link created.. and of course doing that means i loose all the comments!! Even if i was invited to edit it i still can't publish it and update the same link.. please please fix this as it makes having one file thats shared pretty useless..

Right now, if I create a specs or a prototype link in my computer and my co-worker later opens the same file, she is obliged to create another new link. This causes problems that could be solved if we had 1 spec link and 1 prototype link per file.

We are on the same boat here. In our case, some of our designers work remotely with different adobe accounts. It is extremely annoying that we have to share to new links with our developers, each time we have an update. This is especially trouble making when the file owner has left the company/is no longer available.

Still not a feature? Come on already.
I make a design > A coworker has to edit it later > Must ask me to update the prototype > I'm on a vacation or dead or left the company... > Well crap. -

Please please figure this out. I definitely want the be able to add another owner or at least another level so that another person on my team can share for development etc.

This is a blocker for any design team at scale. Its been 6 months since feature was requested. @Jacob Goldstein should we be expecting a fix ?

When i share same credentials for adobe ID for all the users which in this case max 2 machines. And what if i have more than 2 designers in my team?

Has this feature being completed? This is frustrating

Ana Crusis commented
Yes pleeeeease more owners for a project! It's insane that another designer always has to update the proto and design specs within the same company.

Erica commented
This was designed wrong. We are a team of several designers who could all be working on the same file. Mass chaos has ensued because we can't provide our business partners with a single link. This is causing frustration, confusion and lost time because we keep having to share new links. Long term storage is a mess because they can't link to the prototype since it's constantly changing. PLEASE, if you must keep this sort of functionality, allow the original publisher to allow subsequent publishers to either use the same link or require them to create a new link. Don't choose for us.

Multiple owners. definitely!

It will be great if we could work simultaneously on the same file, something that is similar to Git for developers.

Justin Couchot commented
Multiple owners would be ideal for us!

We definitely need to be able to allow multiple people to update an already published XD link (and keep current comments). Multiple owners - yes please!!
