I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea you've intentionally designed this so sharing design specs with a developer REQUIRES interaction connections. NOT ALL designs require showing interactions between artboards. But ALL designs must be shown to a developer. WTF Adobe??

Ditto Ditto Ditto - Why even do this! - I have to agree wholeheartedly with Rich!!! WHY!

We have to create fake prototype flows to show all screens in the design specs view. This is cumbersome, ineffective and extremely annoying. Would also encourage a fix on this. If I would like to publish every screen in design Specs, I should be able to without linking the screens.

Please update this! We are using the published prototype and published design specs for two different purposes. The prototype is relevant to stakeholders and potential customers and the design spec is relevant to developers. I need ALL screens available to developers in the design spec for regardless of whether or not they are relevant to the prototype. I'm sure we're not the only ones working in this manner.

This is insane. I added an interaction, just to try it...and now I cannot publish design spec's. You have to fix this ASAP.

Publishing design spec should not be connected to publishing prototypes!

The logic behind this feature is not correct. Design specs should not have this connection to the prototype. I do not want to have multiple projects or to link all screens because of this reason. It is work that is not needed. Bad thinking to be honest.

I find it pretty stupid that the only to way to share a spec link with people is to first wire them in prototype mode. Why do I find this stupid? Because I'm not wiring in prototype to show how to click through the prototype, I'm only wiring so I can show the developers the pages that need to be made.

For example, I have to create a responsive website for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. And for Mobile App, I have to create the different states. It doesn't make sense to link a desktop screen to tablet and to mobile. Wouldn't you agree?

Why can't design specs just allow the designer to choose which artboards they want to share to developers?

I am building a site and have artboards for desktop and mobile, but only the mobile ones are uploading, the desktop artboards are being ignored. Would be nice to be able to publish everything so I can hand off to my developer.

This is a must. I want to share different versions of a singular proposed screen and it will only upload the ones that are connected to the prototype into the spec. I like to save my progress and keep archived versions in case my team resorts back to an archived approach.

It's frustrating not being able to select the artboard(s) I want to publish to design specs. Instead I'm forced to share ALL the artboards that sits inside the document. So now I'm constantly copying the artboards I want to publish to design specs over to a separate document and this accumulates a great deal of duplicates. Very annoying. Please stop this by implementing the option to CHOOSE the artboards I want to share! This all or nothing approach is killing us. Very annoying.

Please fix this.

Just Duplicate the artboard and delete the original board.

It would be nice to have a share option "publish all" (also not connected)

Can you give us a bit more information here? Where would you like to see all of the responsive layouts appear -- Desktop Preview or Share, or perhaps Design Specs?

If I am making a responsive website, I have to design for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile. It has become cumbersome to link desktop, tablet and mobile screens together, just so they can appear on the friggin spec link.

Why can't I just include all the screens for spec mode?

+1 this is preventing us from using the AdobeXD altogether

Desperately needed

To add - Even if an artboard has prototype linking to other art boards, unless it is someway chained in a interaction flow linked to the "home" artboard it still won't upload in the design. The prototype linking can't stand separately.

This is incredibly annoying. After hours of creating a design and prototype I either have to add interactions to pages that are variations (for example responsive breakpoint designs) or remove all those interactions. Or even more annoyingly I need to create a whole other file, which then becomes an annoying issue if ad hoc changes in the design occur.

Please allow the option to export all artboards without linking in the Design Spec share screen.
