Version Control for Shared Prototypes
We need to have version control for prototypes so when developers are reviewing the prototype, they can look back at a previously shared versions of the prototype.

+100 Managing shared links is so difficult with XD. Due to how XD works currently, sometimes I need to create new links for prototypes, and this results in the old links becoming outdated. Since there's no way to redirect old links, managing old shared prototypes becomes untenable. If there was version control, it would allow me to make sure that everyone with a prototype link has the most recent version since the link would always be the same.

Currently when sharing a link with a client if I make an update to the link it overwrites the last version shared. To resolve this I have to send out multiple links with different version numbers or dates on it. This runs the risk of a client/dev looking at an older outdated link or the most up to date link not being passed around all stakeholders.
It would be useful to have a 'design history' or 'version control' i.e. the ability to mark a spec as V1.0, V1.1, V1.2 or to revise it up to V2.0. in order to be able to track design changes.
So when a client is looking at version 2.0 then can also look back to version 1.1 (i.e. by clicking folders) - but mainly that the client always sees the most up to date link.
