Colors. Why can't I add them straight up? I know all the colours i need to use? Why can't i just create them? Why do i need put something on an art board first? I am doing something wrong?

The asset management is strange. Figma does it better. Copy them.

Often times I will duplicate an artboard (command, d), and I'll expect it to appear directly next to the artboard that I just duplicated.

But what actually happens is that the artboard appears to the far left of the top artboard in the file. My site-grid layouts are usually large - So I'll have to zoom out, find the duplicate, and then drag it down to where I wanted to appear in the first place (NEXT to the original)

Please fix this logic - It's annoying.

The feature to secure layers that must be placed at the top.

When I am trying to build nested components-- in order to prevent it from swapping, I have to click into the component in order to drag another component from the assets panel. I would like the ability to hold a modifier key to prevent this from happening. It would save time and clicks.

Why doesnt XD have the most basic, fundamental ability to scale a stroke? when i scale a graphic with a stroke i should have the options to scale stroke and effects uniformly just as illustrator has. it isnt rocket science, this is basic, basic stuff. please add it

Whenever I change my component's state the left panel keeps closing the component's folder tree. Please prevent this on Windows.

The ability to have multiple formats spanning across devices (mobile, tablet, desktop etc.) under one component would be a game changer. If I change the colour of a button on desktop it's replicated across all the components formats.

Currently if a client makes a last-minute request to change fonts, colours etc. we have to make the change across all devices.

Hi

Just a simple request, this has been driving me absolutely crazy.

Can you please implement a horizontal scroll bar on the design mode section, so we can easily move between the designs

I referring something like Adobe flash, where you can create a movie clip (animation component, eg: loading bar) I planning to have loading bar first before to have the content appear. For example the result page design. But it will be too much work to create so many frames/screens just to animate the loading bar. It work be nice, the loading bar is created like a movie clip or animation component, and can be use any of the frames/screens.

Have the possibility to "Reset to Main State" all the instances of one component present in the document in one click.

I'm working on a file with 60+ artboards, with lots of components and subcomponents. Sometimes the instances of my components don't update automatically when I edit the main state, so I have to do it manually for each one of them.

When I create buttons in Xd, I want to save them as a component, add a hover state to it and add a shadow so it looks lifted. Right now Xd only supports changing color, outline and maybe size but managing shadows is not possible. Please add!

As a designer, I want to copy an object and paste it on top of a selected symbol / component / text object's coordinates.

For example I have a logo on a web page set at x:20px and y:20px. I would select the logo and right-clic, use dropdown menu, or the keyboard shortcut and choose "Paste over selection". The graphic I had on my clipboard would be pasted at x:20px and y:20px. Sketch does it and it's like RedBull-fast and effective.

When you rollover a group and XD shows you the highlight for that group, clicking once should allow you to select it! This is behavior that is common in Figma/Sketch. Instead, it always selects the top most parent group.

This is really slowing down my workflow. In the attached video you'll see this in action. Toward the end I Command click but that only select the individual layer. (Even that feature is wonky sometimes). Selecting things in general since I've switched to XD has been the biggest pain and very time consuming for my workflow.

Create and change the theme easyless.
Like :
Pass all the project in dark mode.
Or,
pass Only this component in "Market theme" (promotion, ...)

Switch the theme by component or page (when this is build before)

PROBLEM:
Sometimes my artboard collapses out of nowhere so I have to double click the artboard name to open it back up to see the layers again. But when I do that, XD zooms me out to see the entire artboard. So I have to zoom back in to find the section I was working on again.

SOLUTION:
If the artboard you're opening is the one that's already in view, don't perform any zooming actions. (I understand that this feature is to help you find artboards when you need to, but it doesn't help when you're already on it)

When I'm working with my team I would like to lock some artboards in a collaboration file. This way I can guarantee that those artboards will stay unchanged but my colleagues can still see my progress and copy elements.
