1. User-rights management in online prototype (permissions)

   Users should have different statuses like admin, able to leave comments, just watch, disallow access to specific areas of the prototype.

   • sometimes users have to be able to look over an prototype but not to comment

   • some users might watch specific parts of a prototype but shell not see others

2. JIRA: Preview of an artboard for artboard link, not of main artboard

   Same problem for integrations in Slack and Jira integrations' previews

   If I am adding or sharing Adobe XD link of a concrete artboard in some project, e.g.:
   https://xd.adobe.com/view/PROJECTID/screen/ARTBOARDID/
   then preview usually is generated not for this concrete artboard that i am sharing, but for the main artboard of the whole project

   So in fact it generates for me this link preview:
   https://xd.adobe.com/view/PROJECTID/

   This is completely illogical, when e.g. in Jira I create a task to implement concrete subpage, but then Adobe XD generates me every time the main page preview...

3. Fit Watch preview window to content instead of showing black bars on top/bottom

   When previewing for example an Apple watch up there is unnecessary black background which is confusing when the watch has a black background.

   Expected preview like on the right
   Observed: Get preview like on the left

4. Protopie Export - Retain Element Types

   Not sure if this is something XD would do or Protopie.

   Currently when exporting to Protopie there are no options aside from which artboards to send. When the elements come over they are all flattened to bitmap images. Protopie seems to have almost the exact same element types as XD but they currently do not link to one another and there is no option to select bitmap or text/editable vector. This is great for text since it means users won't need to have the fonts installed to view the prototype correctly on mobile. But it is a serious issue when I need to change something like a button state, also there is some text which I would like to remain editable in Protopie for use with the text response.

   I would love to have the ability to "Tag" elements in XD for Protopie import as flatten or retain, the default could remain as is but some fine tuned control over the elements in Protopie would be great for advanced users.

   Example: I have a button in XD, I would mark the rectangle as retain and the text inside as flatten so when it comes into Protopie I can play with the color, shape and size of the rectangle but the text will be prepped for the mobile export.

5. Display unconnected screens in prototype mode

   There should be a way to easily identify unconnected screens.
   And/or there should be a way to remove ALL connections, so I don't need to make one connection to display all screens in design spec.

   Background: I'm always having the same problem: I connect my screens in prototype mode, upload the design specs, developers are getting the link and then a screen is missing. Then I'm editing it, connecting it again or add/modify screens, I upload it again and the developer sees only the connected screens. This makes me so crazy sometimes because finding out which screen is not connected takes minutes and is really frustrating. If one screen is not connected to the others, all screens which are connected to the missing-connection screen aren't displayed as well.

6. Place linked illustrator/photoshop artboards

   Similar to the way the other apps (illustrator, photoshop, indesign, after effects) work it would be great if we can place linked artboards into XD.

   Linked files/artboards would allow us to update the source file and have the artwork update automatically within XD.

   Using CC Libraries doesn't work the same way because libraries can only store individual assets, versus multiple assets that can be stored within an illustrator or photoshop file.

   A specific use case might be where a complex set of illustrations made in illustrator/photoshop needs color adjustments by a client.

   With CC libraries one would have to update each asset individually. However with linked files we can potentially replace a global color swatch that updates all colors across the different artboards automatically. And then because the file is linked, the XD file will update automatically.

   CC libraries is great for simple lightweight assets, but when it comes to importing large complex files, linked files are much easier to work with. (Current workaround is to save out the artboards out as images and place them, which is a pain when it comes to updating them.)

7. Viewport at bottom

   It's great that we can customize the height of the viewport in XD. However, it would be very useful to be able to adjust the position at where the viewport starts when entering the page in preview mode.

   For example: if I'm making a screen for an instant messaging app, I want to start from the bottom of the design and scroll up the page as to see 'older' messages. But I cannot do this because the view always starts at the top.

8. Adjust layout grids with the mouse

   The way I would like to see it is like this:

   1. First it should have 2 modes: auto and manual. Auto would generate all columns equal based on single column and gutter values. Manual would let you set your columns and gutters at whatever values one wishes.
   2. It needs to be draggable with the mouse and you should be able to see near the grid line the values of the column you are changing.
   3. After the grid is made mouse interactive, the way you would create one grid could be something like this: First you set the first line mirrored by the last witch would set the total width of the grid and the margins and then on the next step you drag to set the columns and gutter values. Visual cues about their values are needed.

9. Create themes for XD UI

   Maybe a XML file that set the colors of the UI.
   Example:

   <themes>
   <theme name="Monokay">
   <toolbarIconsColor>#fff</toolbarIcons>
   <toolbarBackgroundColor>#000</toolbarBackgroundColor>
   <propertiesBackgroundColor>#000</propertiesBackgroundColor>
   </theme>
   </themes>

11. Prototype : Overlays for user flows

    So when I design a prototype I might have a Home screen that goes something like this
    Home>A screen>B screen> C screen > Finish

    A client might want multiple examples for the same flow so i would need to duplicate the whole flow to something like this:
    Home>a2 screen> b2 screen>c3 screen> finish

    The idea:
    Enable sticky overlays if prototype goes through it, replacing key objects on the screens without the need to duplicate all of the screens and slowing the whole prototype down.
    Home>Screen 1 overlay> would result in a1 screen>b1>screen>c1 screen
    Home> screen 2 overlay would result in a2 screen>b2 screen> c3 screen

12. Renaming a symbol and the notion of instance

    I create a new symbol. I can rename the instances in the layers panel.
    Then, I rename the symbol in the assets panel. This overrides the custom names of the instances of my symbol.

    This behavior is inconsistent with the notion of instance in Adobe XD. When I change an element of an instance, all my instances are updated accordingly. There is no notion of a master symbol.

    Why can I rename an instance one by one if all the names can be overridden when renaming via the assets panel wherease any UI change in an instance directly affects all the other instances. In one case, it seems there is the notion of master symbol whereas in the other, it's more a reference of all the instances.

    If it's a real instance of a symbol, renaming all the instances should not be automatic. I have the same issue with a symbol drag-and-drop. It replaces all the instances with the new symbol whereas I juste wanted to replace one instance.

    If there is no notion of master symbol, you should revise the renaming behavior which is not logical with the rest.

13. Cmd + Z to deselect in multiselect situations

    When selecting multiple objects, it could be helpful for cmd + Z to deselect one by one, instead of undoing the last thing you changed.

14. "Hide Layout grid" shouldn't turn it off in Design Spec

    When you hide layout grid in Design mode, you don't just hide it - you turn it off completely. That is a problem, becaouse when you do it, it disappears from Design Specs. So, either rename the command to "Turn off Layout grid" (because that's what really happens) and add another function for just hiding it, or allow its visibility in design spec even when its turned off.

    Point is that when you do design you often hide the grid for better visibility. But - when you publish your design spec, you must remember to turn it on in all artboards, otherwise you cannot see it in your Spec. That is anoying.

15. Dual window mode to be able to see 100% preview

    In PS it is possible to create another window for the same document.
    It is very convenient when you're designing icons.

    You can work in the first window having like 500% zoom, and preview the result in the second window having 100% zoom at the same time.
    (see the attached image for details)

    Adobe XD totally needs such feature!

16. Paste Appearance by dragging and holding element over frame

    Additionally to right clicking and selecting paste appearance to drop an image into a frame, it would be awesome if you could drag an image onto a frame and hold it there a second and it will ghost paste it to show what it would look like, then let go and it pastes appearance onto that frame. I find this to be a very intuitive way to paste appearance!

17. Ctrl+Shift to activate hand tool

    Balsamiq mockups uses the ctrl +scroll keyboard shortcut to zoom in and out. Then by simply adding Shift to that, I can click and drag my canvas around. So Ctrl+Shift+click does the same thing as Spacebar. Why is this useful? I don't need to move my hand from the Ctrl Key over to the spacebar to move around! Adobe XD feels clunkier because it's missing this AWESOME keyboard shortcut. If you don't believe me, try out Balsamiq mockups and tell me that isn't easier.

18. Every plugin provides a tutorial

    Because there are so many XD Plugins, for better user experience, it'd be great when every plugin's developer provide a tutorial on how to use the plugin. The tutorial is to save designer time and effort to figure out how is the plugin works, but try them one by one.

19. Paste into instead of Paste Appearance

    The "Paste Appearance" command to copy/paste an already placed image into another frame or shape is very useful, but I'm afraid no user will expect the feature to be named and used in that way. I've tested it with some course attendees (by asking them "What command would you expect?") and they all answered "Paste Into". Even with the "Paste Appearance" command available to them in sight (under the right-click or menu command), they overlooked it.

    Users don't expect such an image to be an aspect of "appearance". And besides that, it took Adobe Illustrator about 15 years to get users to understand the "Appearance" term – and they still don't...

    Please re-introduce this feature as a new or extra command "Paste into", before Terry White needs to devote another Secret Tips & Hidden Gems session to it.

20. Limit Speech Playback Recurrence

    Add a way to limit recurrence of speech playbacks so that the user can reuse an artboard without the speech playback repeating.

    I've attached a sample file that combines a speech playback trigger with drag gestures. When you drag the map right, then left, the speech playback triggers a second time.
