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!

Almost a year since Creative Cloud Spaces was announced... Still very much in need of a feature like this one.

And here we are after the 2022 Adobe max keynote. 0 mention of XD, 0 mention of Creative Cloud Spaces - the flagship feature from last years keynote.
Awful, just awful.

This is so critical for our projects when working with agencies or freelancers! When is this feature coming??

Kristian commented
Yeah Elaine... but some fx. interns already have a school license and won't be able to update the link.
So if I get ill then the interns get stuck.
– Anyway, the intern convinced us to move to Figma now since they aren't so money eager. -

I got tired of waiting. There is something very strange going on at Adobe.

Forget CC Spaces for now... How about when I share I file you give me a simple check box that allows that User to publish urls from the file? There, 1 sentence solution, 1 week of development, I'll supply the UI design for free (but I can't publish it because I'm not the owner).

It's been 10 months now since the CC Spaces announcement and XD is still not fully collaborative. I'm about to switch my entire team to Figma because only one person can publish links. Come on Adobe, you've made me look like a fool for recommend XD over Figma.

When will the feature be available? And why don't you answer on your customers' questions here?

Get your act together adobe. It's absolutely not "Early 2022" anymore so stop hiding and let us know when (and if) we can expect CC spaces this year.

Unbelievable, so basic and essential and still not available in the middle of the year 2022. Figma is looking like a better option.

Please let us know when this functionality will be available.
Right now working as a team is a huge huge mess:
- I've had collaborators leaving with ownership of files that required a lot of manual work to avoid losing material
- we routinely have problems just publishing and sharing design because the only way to preserve the links is to have the owner available to do it.So please give us a date to look forward to, because the problems are real and will likely push us to hard decisions if we don't know when they will be fixed.

Is it known when this is gonna be available? Not being able to have multiple owner is a lack of good cooperation within a team.

Pedro Salas commented
Another lacking feature causing problems in my team. We should be able to collaborate. With the actual setup, the hole team depends on a member availability to update a simple link... It's a shame Adobe.

how hard can it be to implement this? c'mon adobe...

I see this feature request has been posted on 2017 and surprised to see Adobe still working on it or defending their ideas which is a bottleneck to many companies like us. Even if it's the expected behavior, why not give an option to the owner to add another co-owner? Not all the time can we depend on one person to do the job.

Hello, My coworkers and I are having issues sharing documents with developers. Only the document owner can share a mockup link. Can you let owners switch, or even better, can all editors share links? If my coworker is on PTO or sick leave, I must duplicate and share files. So we have a lot of files. :( Also, I have to call my coworker to update a mockup link for every change. It makes our job very difficult. Some developers even complained and insisted that we switch to another program because of that. Because developers get a new link if I duplicate a file to become the owner and share a link. :( Please help us. Best regards, Ira

This feature is much needed in our department. We are a large team and not having this feature is a bottleneck for us. We need to be able to have non-owners be able to publish the link, as multiple users work on the same project file and need to be able to refresh the prototype link for review.
Thanks!

I'll add my voice to the others. Normally I use Sketch or Figma. I'm consulting with a team that is using XD. In less than a week this has already caused a bottleneck, as primary user was out of the office for a few days. This should be fixed asap.

Allow other users that are added to the cloud file to share and update existing links.

@Elaine (Adobe) - Not sure what this CC Spaces is, but it already sounds overly-complicated for what should be a simple fix. Just allow anyone who's been invited to edit an XD document the ability to update a published link. If the owner or anyone else does not want the other collaborators to update the link, that's up to them to communicate that. There's no need to babysit designers and make it impossible to perform the simplest of functions. Again, not sure what CC Spaces is, but if collaborators cannot update links in a co-edited document, the XD team is doing something wrong.
