Export assets from web version (xd.adobe.com)
I'm a developer and we normally often get Photoshop files shared via Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud has an option on assets.adobe.com "Extract", this takes you to a screen when you can directly extract assets and download them as SVG/PNG etc.
As a developer I don't need to or want to delve into a graphics program to try and extract individual assets. I don't want to know about clipping masks etc. etc. I just want to be able to contextually extract assets as I'm building a website/app. Creative Cloud's Extract feature works well for this but there seems to be no equivalent for XD. We are now seeing more designs being shared using XD but we're also now back to getting asset folders with formats that aren't as useful to us.
Can you please investigate the possibility of an Extract like feature for web shared XD projects please? This would massively improve the workflow for developers.
Many thanks

Hi All,
With XD’s 11.0 release (which happened moments ago), we’ve made this feature live.
You can now save time and give developers the ability to extract and download assets from Design Specs. Mark layers as assets for export and send as a Design Specs link. Developers can download all the assets in the file format they need
As always, please do let us know about what you think of this feature and feel free to log the improvements that you’d like to see in this workflow as new requests at adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-x..
Thanks,
Harish

How do I specify which format it should be downloadable? I want to have a SVG but it's only downloadable in PDF..
