It's great to have add and see comments in the online prototype. But even better (for the designer) would be to see those comments *in the design file.*

I envision a third tab next to Design and Prototype: Comments (or Feedback). When you go to that tab, you see all your artboards, but you also see any comments that have been made on the online prototype. Pin or bubble icons (or whatever) appear next to artboards with comments, which you can click to pull up the comments in a comments panel (similar to the layers and symbols panels, but perhaps on the right side of the screen). In that panel, you can navigate your comments for that artboard, reply, resolve, etc.). Ideally, you could zoom out in this panel to see a list of all your comments (as you can zoom out to see a list of all your artboards in the layers panel). What's helpful about that is when you only have a few comments left, you can easily find them without having to zoom out on your pasteboard to find them visually.

But comments are only online, you say! How would they get into the file? Wouldn't it be great if every time you click Update Link, not only did it upload any updates to CC, but it downloaded any comments that have been made?! Right?! And when you resolve comments or reply, clicking Update Link sends the updates up to CC. Naturally, the wording and UI would need to be changed to reflect more of a *syncing* functionality rather than just updating a link.

Why would this be so valuable? The entire value proposition of Adobe XD is that we designers don't have to go back and forth between two or more platforms, but could do everything in XD. This would allow that vision to be real. Otherwise, we still have to toggle between XD and a browser window. But if all comments could be downloaded into the file, we could see comments on our designs and change them *right there and then!!!* That, my friends, would be amazing.

XD should be a color managed application.

I'm not sure what the full context of color management is within the UI/UX industry is, or if it's something that many pay attention to, or if it's just left un-managed.
Currently a vast majority of designers are using high gamut displays to design. Our final output will however differ greatly without some proper color management implemented. If color managment is implemented, we can at least visually soft proof our design and colors to specific devices (ie: New iOS devices that support P3 color gamut), or older sRGB devices.
At the same time sRGB images used won't expand to the display's high color gamut, making them look over saturated.

(Currently using Windows Beta Version: 0.6.8.6)

Update to XD CC version today.

I've been using XD for a while now and have been a big fan ...up until today.

Like many others, I've invested a lot of time testing out this product. Also like others, I've done this on real projects in order to put XD to the test; see if it works for my workflow and so on. It was a risk I knowingly took.

However, with such a short trial window for the official release, I feel like Adobe now has me over a barrel. There have been a few critical features missing which I would need to see (and don't see in the official version) before I'd be willing to make the final decision to purchase. This still feels like a Beta.

Kind of sucks for us beta testers, no? Update quickly or lose all my work...? Not how I thought Adobe would transition us over to the full version.

This is making InVision Studio seem a lot more appealing...

Am I the only one feeling this way?

UX means more then UI—we already have a lot of useful tools when it comes to interface design, what we are missing is a UX focused tool that brings together more of the subtle aspects of experience design.

From some basic research I undertook with other UX professionals, some of the common features they would like to see/require in an 'Experience' design tools would include (but not be limited to :) );

- The ability to start with Feature list and grow this into a UI
- The ability to recognise common features on views and add in automatically
- A tools to teduce the amount of wireframing required
- The ability to evolve more for pre/post production

This ⤴ last point is the key one. 'UX' does not start and end with UI. A true 'Experience Design' tool would allow UX professionals to collate different areas of UX (research, design, prototyping, etc.) and make use of a fuller range of UX related aspects.

Hopefully this feedback proves useful for the longer term plans of Adobe Xd—happy to expand on any of the points above :)
