Support Progressive JPGs in design specs assets
Assets can already be downloaded from design specs, as per:
https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/design-specs-for-developers.html#Extractassetsfordesignspecs
...but progressive JPG is not a supported format for bitmaps. Can we get this feature?19 votes -
Visible scroll bar in design spec
There is no scroll bar visible in the page for the prototype when I look at a design spec in the web browser. I have a decent mouse but scrolling all the way to the bottom requires a lot of work for no apparent reason.
A visual scrollbar of the type that is in every other webapp and webpage that I have ever used would make the specs a lot easier to work with.

Design Spec in Inches
We should be able to see Design specs in inches as well. Some Enterprise development tools (BI TOOLS) only support Inches as the measurement value.
So we are able to design, review and prototype but can't share design specs, that's still a manual process.2 votes -
Share for Development - More Control Over Asset Exporting
Under "Share for Development", I want to mark what an asset was designed for (in my case, always xxhdpi).
1) Determine on a by asset basis if this is for Android or iOS, instead of the entire project to be either iOS/Android/Web.
2) When the developer selects to export the asset, I cannot specify for them what the asset was "designed at", but I can if I export it myself from my XD project.
I design everything so it natively fits on the devices it will be demoed on, which is often xxhdpi. I also prefer how that displays on…

Annotate parts of the design & publish annotations in Design Specs handoff view
As a UX designer, one of the most important information while handing off designs is ability to explain each component in your design. Functional annotations like ON click of this button slide this page or specify error conditions or text or color changes that occur when the user interacts with that component in your design.
UXPin has a great way of annotating designs. Its a separate tab that allows developers to view the design, annotation and style guide separately. Attached is an example of UXPin does it and having this feature on Adobe XD would be great! We use Photoshop…

word count
Going from UX to UI I need to give my client a general word/character count so a copy writer can write to what the design is. Would be great to have a "show word/character count" somehow integrated. I currently copy paste everything into a word counting tool, and then document the word counts in a PDF. Super time consuming.

Android Mobile character Styles Specs must be in "SP"
Currently when we share Android Layout to the developers it was showing in DP for all in specs but as per platform guidelines prefer when it is character styles specs should be "SP" it is stands for Scale independent pixels. It is same as dp unit but it is also scaled by the user's font size preference.
Preferable request is meaningful as it will not confuse to the developers hope it make sense.

Ability to check the size of multiple items in Development
When viewing in the inspector mode in the browser, would be ideal to be able to select multiple elements at the same time, in order to check the total size. This is necessary for when a developer is building the layout templates.

Design specs for single artboards
Whenever I make a change to my document of a multitude of artboards the system "renders trough" the whole document with all artboards altough I have only made changes to a couple of them. Would be nice if we could update them selectively, that way the process of updating the design specs would be shorter. Right now the process gets longer and longer as the document grows.

Layout grid: show borders in the design specs (like in the XD file it self)
When in the design specs the layout grid should look the same as in XD it self.
I'm working on 20 column grid with no gutter, but it turns out that the border you see in XD, you don't see that in the design specs. Result: a turquoise background for the developer with no reference ;-)
I could work around it (10 column grid with gutters and setting a side margin), but I would need to do that across the entire project.

Define artboard order in the Design Spec using the Z-order of the artboards
The artboards order should be determined by the order of artboards In the XD app, complex setups and groupings do not work well with the automatic
left to right , top to bottom approach. It works well for simple setupsNot ones that include 30+ pages, this approach causes more problems then the time it attempts to save

Allow (SCSS, SASS, LESS) variable names for Color in Specs Doc
Could you build a way to display variable names for color in the specs doc and the ability to write comments to developers?
Also, specs doc is not accurate when displaying colors, spacing and font sizes. You can see the workaround I built to make up for this deficiency.

Increased zoom out for Design Specs
The project view that shows thumbnails of all artboards should scale lower than 10% (2,3,4 % even) if needed - otherwise at the moment when the project file is wider it gets cut off by the browser - you can still navigate it using mouse and holding space to drag, but most devs I know find it awkward if they want to jump from screen to screen. If they use 1366px screen than often projects don't fit at 10%.
"ok.png" shows me fixing it by moving artboards into a smaller column, "bad.png" shows how it looks on screens with lower…

Arrows in XD Design spes
It would be nice to have an arrow feature to show the visual flow. I know you can see the flow, but it would be nice to have more of a visual arrow flow.

Package all files necessary for developer handoff
It would be great if you can gather the files you’ve used, including fonts and linked graphics, for easy handoff. When you package a file, you create a folder that contains the xd document, any necessary fonts, linked graphics, and a package report.
Like we have in Illustrator or InDesign.125 votes -
Measure via text baseline
Generate specs to be to the end of the last letter vs. the actual text box
It would be nice if the developer can see the height of the text based on the baseline rather than the text box itself. Sometimes text boxes are much longer than the copy inside of them (if the designer forgets to reduce the height of the box), then the developer will not get an accurate reading of padding between elements because the box is oversized.

Publish Individual Screens for Stakeholders to Use for Communication between Teams
I run into needing to share screen #3, #14, #34 with a stakeholder to use within a presentation, think powerpoint. I have to manually export these screen fo each round of changes. I would like to publish for review only SAID screen numbers where the end user can comment OR DOWNLOAD a png or pdf of the most up to day version.

Option to remove "resolve" button in Design Specs
I would really like to have an option so that the resolve button is not visible or clickable.
I use the “share for development feature” to give students extra help, but if they mistakenly click resolve, the help is gone, and then other students would not be able to get the help, so it would be nice to make the, resolve the button not visible or clickable1 vote
