Import animated gifs and videos
Allow us to upload dynamic (moving) gif images or videos to our designs. I believe this feature should already be added to the application as already many other applications have this feature.
We shouldn't be made to try use a redundant glitchy plugin. This is really ridiculous for us.

mouse effect
i'd really like to have the possibility to add effects that will be made with the mouse, like fluid effect (ondulation like water) on an image or a text.
in my point of view it's very important for creating incredible design and animations and make a website with a strong identity.

Bulk selection by Components
When i create a Component and dublicate it 2 times. Each Objekt have the same Status Default. When i selecet all 3 Components, the pimary feature become off. That is a mess on work to change it step by step by hand.

Gradient
If you create a individual shape and use after that the gradient Feature, it is impossible to move each point on the art board.

Force edits through states in child components
Dunno if someone has requested this or if already possible somehow, but this would save me sooo much time.
Example: If I make a button component (or whatever) with multiple states. If I change the button text in default state it will change the other states as well of this master component. Can we have the same for child components please?

Show differences between versions
When multiple users working on the same file, it will be great if we can see which part is changed or modified.
It is nice to see other people working on the work area realtime but when someone leave the file and come back, it should show them which part has been modified since they leave. Maybe a special highlight or a mark on changed art board.

Changing component state should not reset overridden text
I often design something as a component and make many instances of it before realising I need a variation of the component that substitutes something like an icon (using a nested component).
So I edit the main component for my element, add a new state, swap out the icon with another component and then go back to the specific instance of the component and apply the new state only to find all my text overrides are reset.
This is hugely painful and requires a huge amount of manual correcting.

Please add Illustrator shortcut keys for font size, line spacing, and letter spacing
I use the keyboard for manipulating letter and line spacing, and font size in Illustrator and InDesign. I’m surprised that these are not available in XD. They’re not serving any function as near as I can tell.

Choose which specific component to add to CC library
- The ability for a designer to choose which component to add to CC Library.
- This is valuable because when we publish to the CC Library, it publishes ALL the components. It would be nice if we could pick & choose which components to publish as not all components are ready to be published to the CC Library and shared with other designers.

Horizontal stack with fixed width
Being able to fix the width, when stack is active, then on adding / removing items the padding should be distributed evenly between the element.
Will let us recreate the same logic as the "display: flex, justify-content: space-between", useful for app development like navbar that always have the same width.

See & Switch between components and character styles quicker
I use figma and sketch and they have faster ways to switch between instances of components and type styles in the UI without having to go into an assets panel and leave your layers view. Is there a quicker way to switch between font styles if you have a block of text highlighted on your art board?
There's also no indication in the UI when you have a block of text highlighted to quickly see which character style has been applied. You have to right click to reveal the style in assets panel.

Showing duplicated styles of font and they are wrong
Adobe XD version 36.2.32.5 on all other programs font is viewed correctly, but xd shows multiple options and when you choose let's say regular it is wrong style!

Hold ALT to Drag-Select from anywhere
Holding a key to not select the layer in the background. Only items inside the marquee area are selected.
See this example:

stack should behave like repeat grid
When you select a repeat grid object, you can see pink highlight if you mover your cursor between grids then you could just drag it to modify the padding.
With Stack, you have to double click to edit padding, which feels unintuitive and inconvenient. 1. You'd easily miss the fact that the particular group is stack enabled so you can drag the padding. 2. When you're working on page layout, you'd be repeatedly double clicking the group especially if you have many objects on the same artboard.

re-set/re-link names of (and inside) components
once the "name" of a layer of an instance or the main-component has been renamed (aka broken) manually, any future re-namings of the main-component or its "broken" layer will not be executed in the instance.
this is understandable.
to reset an ENTIRE element XD has the "reset to main-component" feature - which is great.
MY IDEA:
similar to the feature where you reset line spacing by entering "none", there could be a re-set of the name / re-link to the naming of the main-component by entering a "none" as the layer name.1 vote -
