Rethink the component system
In a design system we need hierarchy and inheritance. At this point XD handles these a really poor way.
Important principles:
Embedded / nested components
If I embed a component and change it, the change should be the new default, so when I make new instances of the master, the subcomponent should NOT be reset.States
If I create a new state, and change the elements / subcomponents, only the property changes I made should be saved in the new state. ALL OTHERS should be exactly as in the master. This should work in the property level, so if the…6 votesWe’ve added support for nested components and have improved states and resizing. Feel free to file a new ticket if you’re interested in additional features.
Please note for future reference that UserVoice works best if you have each idea in a separate ticket.

See others' cursors while coediting
It would be great esp. in a larger file to see where my teammate(s) is working. I realize there is presence but the colored stroke is hard to find at times.
Ideas:
• A cursor icon of where they are in the doc (even if they are not selecting an object) or perhaps greyed out while they are working on something.
• The ability to click on their profile icon to be directed to where they are
This could be great if you are on a call with a designer elsewhere to pinpoint whatever they are working on.6 votesThanks for your feedback! Live cursors are available in this week’s release of XD40. Enjoy!

nesting elements / box model
As of now we can only stack elements on top of each other. However the ability to inject one object into another (like in the DOM tree in HTML) would greatly improve our ability to design interfaces that react to different content sizes and different context sizes.
Manual responsive resize is a very good step to design the behavior among elements, but as of now it only works in one direction: Increasing the size of the group generates sensible positioning of the child elements. But often it should work the other way around: Increase the amount of text or the…6 votesI believe the Stacks feature, which was introduced this summer, addresses this request.

Show text elements associated with a character style in the Assets panel
Style Guide - Rollover Highlighting
With the release of v. 0.8.22, when you rollover a style in the "Character Styles" listing, it should highlight all elements in the project that use that style. Inversely, if I click on an object that uses that style, it should highlight the style.
The current implementation means we have repeat entries if two usages share the same stylings, but could deviate in the future, because the use case is different.
6 votesYou can now right click your character style in the asset panel and select “Highlight on Canvas.”

"Guideline Mode" (Design Guidelines)
Add a "Guideline Mode" in addition to the prototype mode and design mode. This would be a content area of speficications like color schemes, used fonts, symbols and other visuals etc. It would be good to have a basic content template for the most typical things like color palette etc. but make it also possible to add custom content.
This functionality would help to work on the design in teams and to communicate the design fundamentals to customer and developers.
6 votesIn August, we released the Assets panel, which supports all of the workflows you’ve asked for in this ticket. For more information, check out the blog post: https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/august-update-of-adobe-xd/

Keep Layer name while converting them into a Symbol
It would be great if XD stops renaming the Layers when you convert them into a symbol.
6 votesXD should be working this way now — if you select a single object (layer) and create a Component, the component name will be taken from that object’s name.
If you select multiple objects at once to make a Component you’ll still get a generic name, but you can rename it in the Assets panel afterward.

Zoom to the top of selected artboard
Description:
When we press ⌘+0 XD zooms out to bird's-eye view. It would be useful to zoom back in to a selected artboard when press ⌘+1 or ⌘+2. But not to the empty grey back ground as it may happen now in the compositions like these (image attached).Why is this valuable to you:
You will be able to switch between different artboards instantly. Even if they're more than 50. Vey easy to navigate and find necessary pages.Additional request:
When zoom to a selected artboard, zoom not just to the center of it, but to the top side (image…6 votesYou can now select the artboard and hit CMD+3 and it will zoom to the selected artboard.

Drag n drop images from a browser
Is it me or does the app currently not support drag n drop from the web browser into app, for example an image into a art board or shape, I have to save it to the desktop top first then drag n drop it.
6 votesYou can drag images from the browser directly into XD. Please download our May release and give it a try: http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/may-update-of-adobe-experience-design-cc/ Thanks for your feedback.

Drag Images from PSD or AI
I would like to be able to drag Images from other apps. Currently I can copy and paste text and shapes, but images don't transfer. In order to get images to XD I have to drag an image file outside of photoshop or illustrator. I would like to drag them from the AI or PSD file as well.
6 votesIn the current version of Adobe XD, you should be able to copy and paste Photoshop layers complete with transparency into XD. You should also be able to copy-paste Illustrator selections that include raster images.
If you find that’s not working for you and your copy of XD is fully up to date, please file a bug in UserVoice with specifics about the type of content you’re copy-pasting and what’s not working — if you can share a file with us that shows the problem, that’s even better.
Thanks!

Cropping containers
Rectangles and ellipses can be marked as "cropping". Such cropping containers will apply a cropping mask on anything put inside it. This should be a reversible behavior.

CC Libraries: Increase asset preview size, sort, and custom background
Please, add functionalities to CC Libraries like:
- change file preview: large icons view with name, details view with names and other information;
- possibility to sort the file by name, date, last modified,....;
- possibility to have a default or customizable background to turn on and off;I would like to put on your attention the worst case for me: the large icons view works fine only with coloured icons, not with white icons, because of the white background (that depends on the artboards) doesn't allow to me to see a white icon, and without the names of the…

Change color for all artboards
If you have a color palette and need to change a color a little you need to change the color for every layer with the old color again.
It would be nice to have a set color palette and if you change one of these colors all layers with the old color get updated.
5 votesYou can now do this with the assets panel! Add the color to the assets panel and edit it from there to edit globally.

Copy and Paste top of list is aggravating
It's very annoying anytime I copy/paste an item within a group or not, that it pastes it into the top of that group in my panel. Instead of right above the item I have selected. If I want to clean up my panel I have to constantly move my items down where I want them after pasting.
5 votesIf you would like your object in the same location instead of at the top of the stack, you can use Duplicate instead of Copy and Paste.
An example: https://twitter.com/elainecchao/status/887375166526730240
Hope that helps!

Isolated group label (breadcrumbs)
This one will presumably have to wait until the layers panel comes to fruition, but it'd be nice if there was a label/breadcrumb at the top of the screen that told us which group was selected/in isolation mode. Pretty much exactly like illustrator's isolation mode breadcrumb bar, or maybe even simplified (after all, simplicity seems to be what XD is all about!), using just the standard breadcrumb chevron instead of icons.
I think this would be nice because I keep forgetting, or not realizing that I'm in isolation mode, then I end up drawing or pasting objects in to that…
5 votesYou can see the current group context in the layers panel (as the OP suggested). If you’re interested in this on Windows, please upvote the Windows layers panel: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/17504053

Automatically resize Area Text box height when changing width with responsive resize
When using Responsive Resize, items will adjust according to their parameters but items such as Area text will not take into account their contents. When resizing an Area Text box, XD should provide the option to resize the height in line break increments to accommodate the text.
An option for width could also be useful.
The benefit of this is that responsive resize will now responsively adjust all other elements to fit.
4 votesThe new auto-height option for text boxes in XD34 will do what you want it to! Check it out today.
