Highlight/show in Design view the current artboard displayed in Preview window
PainPoint:
As you design more and more complex prototypes it gets really easy to forget where the Artboard is for the part of the flow you are at in the Design Previewer
Solution:
Highlight which Artboard it currently showing in the previewer so that you can make changes faster.23 votes -
Allow more than one of the same type of interaction on a component
Allow more than one of the same type of interaction on a component.
For example two taps. One triggering an overlay menu, and One moving down to anchor link on another part of the page (where the overlay is position to show)
22 votesThanks for your feedback. One of the things that you might want to consider is adding the interaction you’re looking for inside the component itself to change states through an entire component itself.
How would you want to determine between the two interactions (when to trigger an overlay vs. when to go to a different artboard) if you have both interactions defined?

Custom easing
I would love to be able to customize the easing function - similar to how you can edit easing graphs in after effects - or the simplicity of how you can edit the easing curves in InVision Studio. This really gives a us the ability to make a product feel more custom.

Control symbol overrides from property inspector
Right now, it is hard to manage overrides. Please can we have it on the right hand menu when selecting a symbol so we can override from there?

Maintain last known component state when autoanimating to a new artboard
Would be great if XD would remember the last known component state when autoanimating to a new artboard. Or, better yet, let us mark components for state remembrance on artboard change. Otherwise we are right back to the thnig states was supposed to solve, duplicating artboards for the appearance of a saved state hahaha ;)
I have seen and voted on some other feature requests for conditional behavior, which could solve this issue too if implemented right, but this is a bit different.
I have posted an example prototype here:

Auto Animate support through symbols
The transition animation of shapes from one screen to the other are not supported when they are symbols.
The animation is smooth if the items are grouped but if these are symbols the animation seems to break.
In the example the bottom nav bar is a symbol in one and a grouped element in the other

Assign artboard to a device for preview
It would be great if I could give a artboard a device that is connected, so I can preview iPhone artboards on my connected iPhone, same for my iPad and so on. That would work pretty well with multiple device setups.

Embed YouTube videos in prototypes
Please add an option to embed youtube videos and make it a component.

Animate paths
Defining a path the elements follow while in auto animate is a feature that will be appreciated. While creating a graph some elements have to follow the curve of the graph like a point on the graph. While animating that using auto animate, the point moves outside the graph. Yes, multiple dashboards can be used to define it but with path animation, only two artboards will be enough.

Accessibility features: Haptic feedback (vibrations) and (iOS) VoiceOver readability
Prototyping for people who are visual impaired is almost impossible to do. With the voice feature added it has become a bit easier to fake but if two more featured would be added Adobe XD could prototype for even more users.
- Vibrations could be added within the action area. This would make sure that extra feedback could be added to certain buttons/area's instead of textual feedback. This would also mean that two actions should be possible; a vibration and a transition if necessary.
- The VoiceOver function of iOS can't read the Adobe XD app. It doesn't distinguish buttons/area's that have…

XD Apple TV / OTT Testing app
Hi XD team!
I'm so excited that you are releasing the iOS and Android XD apps for testing on those devices. We have apps on those platforms, but I feel like the real game changer for us would be an OTT testing app such as a native tvML (tvOS) app for Apple TV that we could at least test our Apple TV app on.
We have our app on nearly every OTT platform you can imagine such as Apple TV Legacy and tvOS, Roku, Android TV, Fire TV, XBox 360 and new ones coming soon. Our stakeholders view our design…

Integration with Framer X
Would be great if XD screens could be imported into Framer X similar to Sketch. It’s the only thing that makes me still debate using Sketch instead of XD!

Device orientation change/resize as a trigger
I would like to have a trigger for device rotation, and connect two artboards to go from one layout to another when device rotation happens.
To go further, I like to be able to switch to another artboard based on size class changes (using iOS terms). Then I could have specific layouts for various potential sizes of my app, and this would include portrait to landscape rotation.

Back button within XD Desktop Preview
When I preview in the browser I can use the browser's built in "back" button to go back one step in my prototype. There's no way to mimic this behavior in the Desktop Preview in the XD app. This can be frustrating, as I often like to start Previews within the app but it can be frustrating to navigate.

Trigger hover animation while a hover animation for another element is still playing
I just want to say that the hover state is quite laggy, if I have a sidebar navigation with each item having a hover state - it lags quite a lot to show the hover states.
Currently we are removing all hover states, but it will be great to get these as speedy as if it were coded in a web CSS prototype.

Timed dismissal for overlay
since overlay feature released so why not to add a time for that overlay for instance when i click on CTA button overlay popup for specific time i define for 2 seconds then disappeared by itself.
that's like a toast in web design terms simple real life example for this in youtube when you like a video there's a toast/popup show in the bottom left of the screens tells you that you liked this video.
that's gonna be really cool for both website and mobile app to show you if your purchase has bee successfully done or your new settings…17 votesUpdated this to focus on timed dismissal. Please do file two separate tickets for two different ideas in the future! The background issue can be upvoted here: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/34604857

Shadows get clipped in overlays
Fantastic features: Overlays, and Fixed elements
Here are a few improvements I'd like to see.- Overlays support Fixed headers and Footers, scrolling content.... But now the drop shadows can't be used on the elements because they get cut off. Allow the overlay to be shadowed, or allow the shadows to bleed out from the overlay contents.

- Scroll Underlying content: I'd like to have a left panel come sliding in, and still be able to scroll the underlying page. Example: Toolbar slides in, scroll the content of the page.17 votesFor scrolling the base artboard, please upvote this story: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/34676035

Trigger interactions on mouse down / touch down / press (instead of click / mouse up)
Use (or have the option to use) a mouse-down (or touch-down) input to trigger changes instead of a full click (down+up).
When doing usability testing it's possible a user might try to click and drag something. Unnecessary confusion may result when the system doesn't respond at all (because a full click is necessary to trigger a change). If we could respond to the initial -press- or mouse-down we could provide an immediate response at the time the gesture begins, mitigating confusion.
Of course drag-and-drop would be super ideal, but the ability to respond to a press response would allow us…

Complex interactions builder - Mouse, Scroll and infinite animations
It can be great to be able to prototype complex animations and interactions. It can help us create more concrete prototypes with mouse and scroll animations or also infinite loop animations.
Detail of the idea in this article : https://uxplanet.org/the-killer-feature-im-waiting-for-in-our-modern-design-tools-87c3a5d3c4b3
Summary of the idea :
A 3 step process which allow you an infinity of possibilities by customizing each property with a math formula. We add syntax highlighting to help designers differentiate dynamic properties, static properties and constants or math functions.
Then, AdobeXD previewer will “just” have to recalculate and update these properties at a 60 Hz frequency to make…16 votes -
