Customize panel location (dockable)

278/5000
It would be nice if the tool panels were draggable. It's easier to move to an XD from Photoshop if you can have layers or objects panel on the right side. 15 years of getting used to UI from other Adobe products is a big deal. This is also important for left-handers.

    Yes. This. Also, having CC Libraries open all the time and layers at same time (wherever I want them to be) is something we've been doing in most other CC apps since like 1990s?

    Please make this happen yesterday.

    Specially big screens and multiple files needs application frame turned off, it will be great help to drag drop files picking colours and communicate between 2 or more XD files

    It would be nice to be able to move panels around in XD like Photoshop. Then save the custom layout.

    Area Manipulation is an amazing thing. Being able to set things up in a way that you like and makes easier to use saves time and makes a more relaxing work space. Or at least I find.

    I work with a program with my main job called DG LUX and I find it great for being able to move aspect windows around, or even stack them on top of each other. This way, the information that I always need to see is there and the stuff that is less important can be stacked away.

    This program is a bit intense and much more than needed for just UI Design. but being able to move panes around has been imperative for efficient work

    having this in XD would be amazing, I have already found my self getting frustrated having to constantly move back and forth between the Assets,Layers, and plugins. If those 3 Accordions where able to be moved into other positions to see them all at once would be very helpful.

    Application frame for Adobe products are great stuff, I been using since years, I love this features across most of Adobe products specially Illustrator and Photoshop. Please give the same feature in Adobe XD too, that will be very handy and increases usability of the application specially if we are dragging assets comparing different XD widows/projects, creating user flow and persona/flow charts and many other features.

    Allow the user to configure their workspace like in InDesign (or any other Adobe product).
    With a multi-monitor setup, it would be so much easier to have full use of the available real estate.
    The XD menu palettes are fixed and can't be moved outside to the main window (at least I've not seen how to).
    I can use one monitor for a live preview, but not the other.
    The attached file show how much real estate I have to use.

    I too am struggling against the ability to have both the asset panel and layer panel open at the same time. I work with layers a lot and having to switch between them is slowing down my process.

  • Thani Suchoknand commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love the ability to move the assets panel or make it visually persistent elsewhere in the UI. Having to toggle between either the layers OR assets panel is cumbersome and inefficient.
