Overlay positioning below "fold"
I would like to be able to position an overlay so that it is connected to a specific element regardless of whether that element is below the "fold". For tooltip, dropdown menus, and other interactive elements, overlays are awesome. However, in doing responsive design work for enterprise applications, there are many instances where a dropdown or tooltip will appear below the fold.

As of MAX of this year, we’ve enabled component states, which will give you the flexibility you need to be able to create flyouts, dropdowns, and other interactive elements that will be contextual to its placement on the artboard. Check it out on letsxd.com!

That this functionality wasn't considered a must for MVP is a black mark against all of Adobe. Whatever PM convinced the higher-ups this was the "intended functionality" for anyone but the devs who couldn't make it work (or didn't want to try) should be blacklisted from ever working on tech products again.

Please XD team! This is simply an essential feature when it comes to interactive interfaces. Overlay below the fold NOW, please!

This feature request started in June of 2018... and I cannot believe that it has only 191 votes? More people have not found this to be a huge issue?

I'm astounded that this is not considered a bug. Why would they restrict overlay placement to above the fold in the first place? It makes no sense.

Agree with the above statements.

Basically, it's like in the invisonApp, where you can place an overlay anywhere. Once you select the element that will overlay you have the cursor mover indicator to place anywhere and position it.

I agree this cannot possibly be working as intended. We need to be able to place overlay animations wherever we need on a page not just above the fold

This is a bug, I simply want to put a filter area below the fold so it can be used when the filter come into view?

I tried the workaround mentioned below, but it's glitchy and unreliable. XD needs to fix this issue, so simulation of a web page can be done properly

Should be noted though, as a workaround for this I found that I can temporarily set the viewport height (in Design mode) to include my overlay and move the overlay where it should go (in Prototype mode). Then I can go back to my Design mode and set the viewport height where I actually want the fold. Seems it works in this order...at least for me just now.

This is a bug, not a feature and should be prioritized as such. The placement of the overlay element should have NOTHING to do with the fold. Insane if it was actually designed this way. I should not have to spend time asking for every little tiny thing, but every day I search for answers to my XD questions and alas find myself on these forums with the rest of the choir having to ask for the basics.
