1. 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 master state has a regular font style, and on the new state the font is bold, all the other things - text content, font family, size, position, etc. should still come from the master - so these should CHANGE once the master is altered.

   Component resize
   Now the component’s boundaries are defined by the contained elements. This is a really bad idea. Components need some kind of frame, artboard in order to make them easier to use in responsive / interactive scenarios.

   • There are static components like logos, icons. Now we have to cheat and create a standard 24x24px invisible background element to make them exchangeable.
   • There are elements, which have several states with different sizes. The artboard for the states should be able to follow the size changes automatically plus there should be manual control too.
   • The artboards should be able to be stacked and push / pull others when needed (like an accordion). For stacking the uniform margin is not acceptable, as in the reality the margins are changing between elements.

   We’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.

2. Download assets as JPGs from Design Specs

   Please create the option to download assets as JPGs from design specs. As of right now, there are only options to download as PNG or PDF. JPG seems pretty odd to exclude. Additionally, it would be great if you could have the ability to control your batch export preferences.

3. Direct shortcuts for tabs/workspaces (Design/Prototype/Share)

   I used to cycle intensively and seamlessly between the Design and Prototype tabs with CTRT+TAB. Hundreds of time a day. It was easy, logical, productive.

   But now the Share tab came alongside them. While sharing is crucial, it is not designing. Using CTRL+TAB now forces me constantly through the sharing mode, followed by an extra CTRL+TAB. Hundreds of time a day. It is pure repetitive noise for me.

   I suggest any of these 2 simple solutions:

   1 - Adding a direct shortcut for the tabs (eg: OPTION+1, OPTION+2, OPTION+3);

   2 - Removing the Share mode as a tab alongside the design tabs, leaving them two in the original powerful toggle;

   I have already posted and voted on similar issues, and I can only hope that someone at Adobe could simply test the use case of switching tabs with CTRL+TAB while designing.

4. Hover State Remains active even when mouse is off the Component's Child element, but still within the component boundary.

   If a component has multiple elements, the triggered hover state of child A seems to remain active until the mouse is removed from the scope of the entire component (its boundary), not just from that child.

5. Move Fix Position when scrolling back to design mode

   i ve just noticed you removed the preserve scroll position from design. This is a horrible thing for me. Doing that forces me to prototype EVERYTHING.

   for example: i have 100 artboards that are unconnected due to time saving ( i dont need to prototype everything ) but moving that button forces me to do it becaus now i cant make a quick preview for my client where he can scroll up and down. Now i will have to connect ALL 100+ boards together.

   why? Because when you are EXPORTING for REVIEW or DEVELOPMENT
   only the connected boards are being exported. which is a horror for a long time now for me, and that is why i rarely prototype more than 5 artboards together when i have serious design work

   this takes up soo much time

7. Use ALT/Option key + click and drag to duplicate object in stack.

   As an Adobe Xd user that uses many stack groups, I would like to quickly duplicate individual items within a stack.

   See video attached for example:
   1. Outside of stack groups the default behavior of holding ALT/Option key while clicking and dragging an object is to duplicate it.
   2. Holding ALT/Option key on an object within a stack group does nothing.
   3. (Workaround) Copy / Pasting an object within a stack group with Command+C & Command+V duplicates the object in the correct location.

   This is 1 of 2 minor bugs I've found with stacks, but I think I'm only finding them because I love stacks so much as a workflow increase.

8. Remove Share in keyboard shortcut when tabbing between Design, Prototype, Share

   Love the new update with states, versioning and co-editing!!! Awesome!!!

   Though there's one thing in the new update that is quite annoying. When working I always tab between between Design and Prototype mode using Ctrl + tab. The new update expects me to Design then prototype and then share. I feel the share screen gets in the way when toggling between design and prototype.

   For me my workflow is:
   Design -> Prototype -> Design -> Prototype -> Design -> Prototype (and then Share after many iterations)

   The new change "forces" me to go to the Share screen after each prototype revision (if using keyboard shortcut). When entering Share, the screen jumps since the share screen doesnt have a left panel. It's pretty annoying because it takes me to place I dont want to be and makes me loose my focus.

   I don't mind the Share-links' position in the navigation but I hope it will be excluded from the keyboard shortcut (perhaps divided by a subtile visual element).

   We’ve changed the keyboard shortcuts so that you can directly target Design and Prototype so as to toggle back and forth. On US keyboards, this is Alt+1 (Design), Alt+2 (Prototype), and Alt+3 (Share). Hope that helps!

14. Auto layout

    There is one thing that frustrates me every time I work with XD.
    The moment when the height of an element changes and I have to adjust all margins and the height of e.g. cards. And all because the text of a line got shorter.

    Figma recently introduced "Auto layout". This allows to define the margins of elements within a "group" and thus complex list/grids that dynamically adapt to the content.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrKX46DzkGQ

    It would be great if, after "Content aware layout (padding), the margin could now be addressed.

15. 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.

16. Horizontal and Vertical Stacks

    Using stacks in both horizontal and vertical orientations would bring the prototype much closer to to how development works, specially in mobile, providing much more relatable deliverables.

    A "spacing" property could also be used in the stack, providing better control over the design.

    A toggle between horizontal and vertical is something that would help but is not necessary.

18. Deselect Home Artboard

    Need the ability to 'deselect' the home artboard.

    Issue: If I create a prototype with links to the home artboard I can share everything linked to home.

    If I then need to remove all connectors so none of the pages were linked, but I still want to publish all artboards, it won't allow me to do it. Only the home artboard is selected.

    Basically, once you have physically selected the home artboard by clicking the home icon (rather than having XD do it by default when you create your first board) then you're done! Only one screen can be published unless you put the links back in. This is incredibly frustrating, because I accidentally selected 'home' and now have to figure out how to reconnect about 200 artboards before I can publish. As not all artboards fit neatly into a flow (alternative screens, errors, etc.) now I just have to randomly daisy-chain everything together to get it to publish all screens.

    Please let us 'deselect'!!

19. Show component name in the design specs

    It's great to have the component at last. But now I need to communicate the component name with the developers. for example: the values of a certain text are not interesting - they only need to know its class (is it H1, H2...?)

    Swatches already have the name (only on hover, why?) in the specs, so it's obvious you did recognise the need for that.

20. Multiple interactions on a single artboard

    We need to add multiple ways of moving from one screen to another. Currently the only way to do this is to add the interactions to various elements on the artboard, which makes it difficult to find where those interactions are.

    For example, to move from artboard A to artboard B, a user could press Home, Down or say "Artboard A". I can only add one of these interactions to the artboard as a whole at the moment.
