1. Import Assets (rather than link)

   Linked Assets is a great feature, but it is not as helpful as it could be for teams who do contract work. Where I work, we have multiple clients who all typically use Material components, but use different colors. At the present time, we have a shared component library (separate XD document) that we can pull common assets from.

   If we use the Link Assets feature, we are unable to edit the master colors since that is controlled by a source document. So instead, we have to manually copy the components and paste them into a new document, then create entire new color profiles from scratch. What I am asking for is the ability, rather than linking assets from a document, to instead import assets (Colors, Character Styles, Components) from a source document where the user can then edit the colors and styles which will automatically update all of the components.

   Some might say, why not just create multiple source documents, 1 for each client. My answer to that would be that maintaining 1 master source document is infinitely easier that multiple source documents.

   Please consider making this a feature!

2. Make Local Component on right click

   It may seem small but it would be a workflow improvement if when pasting a component, being able to make it local in the right click contextual menu. Currently I have to open the Assets panel, right click on the component, Make Local. But it would be a little more efficient if, once I paste it, right click and make local. Thx

3. Multiple masters of a component

   This might sound like a crazy idea.. but since the introduction of components I have felt the need to have multiple instances of a master component on the canvas.

   Problem: Say I have an artboard with a master component (a collection of master components for overview). In another artboard I have an instance of the component where it sits in context. Today I often start editing the instance component by mistake which just makes overrides to the component when I actually want to just update the component globally and in context. Instead of having the instance of the component I would like to have a duplicate of the master (which of course is live updated with the other master instance).

   So to summarize: I would like to choose wether a copy of a symbol should have a direct link to the master or if should be an instance that you can override.

4. Retain the overrides when replacing a symbol

   When replacing a symbol with another one let's say,
   An "Enabled text box" with a "Disabled text box"
   If Enabled text box has a overridden label called "First name" which gets lost when replacing the enabled version with disabled version of the text box symbol.

   (Since many of the symbols which are created for different states share the same components like, label, value etc.)

5. Feature similar to "Frames" in Figma

   This helps in organising images and icons within a set boundary. Making a shift from Figma after the auto-animate feature.

   This is one area which XD is lacking and making me go back and forth between the two applications.

6. Creating fractions in text

   Need to be able to create fractions for math equations - like in Illustrator and inDesign where you select type, click a button and the numbers are formatted into and editable fraction (ie 2/3 reformatted to a proper fraction setup) - very necessary and a huge time saver

8. Text overrides for nested repeat grids

   You should be able to fill nested repeat grids with individual data. The topic has been posted before (https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353010-adobe-xd-bugs/suggestions/13592076-texts-in-nested-repeat-grid-s-all-elements-chages) but did not receive a lot of attention. However I do see a lot of potential here, when working with complex tabular interfaces.
   One simple use case I came across today is designing a calendar where you design a grid for the months in a year and an nested grid for the days in a month.

9. Shape builder

   It would be great if XD had a shape builder like Illustrator to more easily build more complex shapes. This would allow me to stay within just one application instead of having to use multiple applications. The standard boolean operators just don't cut it.

11. Drag to show/hide/lock/unlock multiple layers/groups

    It gets a little crazy when there are a lot of objects and a lot of groups. It would be really cool if you could drag down through the lock/visibility icons like you could in Photoshop or Illustrator to very quickly show/hide or lock/unlock a series of items instead of having to keep creating deeper and deeper groups.

    Thanks.

12. Symbols vs classes (object styles)

    Symbols are fine when all instances are the same size, like on mobile.

    When designing for the web, we tend to create classes for everything and reuse them in various components that may NOT be the same size. We define stuff like a button's colour, border radius, text style and so on, but we do not define width, height etc.

    Right now XD is does not let us be productive when designing such interfaces.

    This is all implemented very nicely in InDesign's Object Styles, albeit with much more detail there.

13. Automatically add colors and character styles to assets panel

    Ability to automatically sync document colours + character styles without manually having to click the plus icon.

    Problem:
    Unless you remember to constantly update these the document can quickly lead to inconsistencies between what is on the screen and what is in the assets. The more screens and the bigger the project the harder this is to manage and reference what you have used in other places, which is critical for digital design.

    Solution:
    If a new colour or font was added to a screen it would appear under assets automatically. If it was deleted from the screen it would be deleted from assets. This would allow you reference what you are using over multiple screens instantly and would save you having to manually update them all the time.

    I can appreciate there might be times where people are working with specific color swatch libraries that are not being used and need to be separate to what is on screen so maybe this could be an option you could toggle on and off.

14. Use Command key to quickly select object

    Pressing the Command key (on Mac), regardless of what tool is currently active, should give you the selection (arrow) cursor so you can quickly select and move objects. This feature is available in Illustrator, and it would make designing more efficient in Xd. Thanks.

16. Expand Repeat Grid to left / top to fit content, instead of clipping

    If I have to add new content to the top or left of the grid cells inside a Repeat Grid, the left/top edges of the Repeat Grid container don't auto-expand and the content gets clipped. I have to manually move all the existing content down/right to make space, then add the new content, then move the whole Repeat Grid back to the left/upward to get the existing content back in its original position.

    Also, if I have text overrides with centered text, if I edit any of the text to be long it also gets clipped, and requires similar work to add padding on the left (see attached GIF).

    Note: a similar problem happens if you need to add content to the right/bottom: because the Repeat Grid padding doesn't grow, the neighboring cells stay in the same location and the cells' content can start to overlap each other. See request https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/18898609-editing-layout-of-repeat-grid-content-should-avoid-overlap for this issue.

17. Switch between the Layers and the Elements panels with one same shortcut

    Right now the shortcut for the Element panel is CTRL + SHIFT + Y (on Windows) and CTRL + Y for Layers panel. I always get confused what combination I have to use in order to switch between the panels because I constantly change in which panel I am. Since the panels are displayed in the same flyout and at the moment there are only two panles it would be super super awesome to just switch between the panels with the same shortcut. Like when I am in the Layers I press CTRL+Y and I see the Elements. Then I press CTRL + Y again and I see the layers (right now this shortcut closes the panel. For closing either panel should be used another shortcut then - CTRL + SHIFT + Y if you want :)

18. Drag selecting existing text

    When hovering over a text element, the cursor changes to a text selection cursor. This leads me to believe that I can drag select the text I'm currently hovering over (as you are able to do in applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator).

    Currently though, when I try and drag select a portion of text within a text element it creates a new text box in the area I'm dragging, over top of the existing text element. This is inconsistent behaviour when compared to other Adobe apps.

    This is valuable because it skips the step of having to click into a text element in order to select the text within it. This would increase efficiency when designing. In addition, I feel there are very few use cases where you would want to drag out a new text element over top of an already existing text element, which is how XD currently behaves.

19. Zooming and scrolling while editing text

    Something that made me almost rage-quit a project the other day is the fact, that you can't zoom or scroll while editing text.
    Also please make the "select nothing"-shortcut (cmd+shift+a) work in a textbox. It's something that is just baked into many designer's muscle memory.
