Text field is not working properly
If I am going to edit text, the XD is not responding. That time is very irritating to work. Kindly do the needful.

Copy artboard with outgoing interactions
When in design mode, no interactions are copied to new artboard. I have to copy artboard in Prototype mode to keep links leading from current artboard to others. It would help if the interactions were kept in design mode, too, to speed up arranging alternative designs.

Auto rename text
Sorry, if this has already been requested but I couldn't find it. I would love it if when I change the text of an existing text field, that the naming of it in layers automatically changes to reflect what I've typed. I tend to copy and paste text layers, holding option, to speed up my process but it keeps the name of the layer regardless of if I change the content of the text box.

Vertical Move Handle
In Adobe Muse, there was a on the left side, near the rulers, to pull up or push down all design elements under the handle. Was it called the "Vertical Move Handle" ?
Can Adobe XD integrate this feature?
1 voteI’ll keep this open as a suggestion, but you can already insert between objects if you have them selected with the Stacks feature. Definitely give it a whirl! https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-dynamic-designs-with-stacks.html

Double-click rectangle to add a text like it's done in PowerPoint
We need a simple way to add text to a container to avoid creating and grouping multiple objects. Double-click rectangle to add a text like it's done in PowerPoint. See the attached example

Padding with component as a background
Allow padding to work even if the background is a component. Currently, there's no easy way to have a component "shrinkwrap" around it's content, as you would commonly want with a card or panel.
Put another way, the limitations on https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/set-fixed-padding-for-components-groups.html# specifically state: "Components ... cannot act as a background for a group or component." Please remove this limitation!

Color and Text Style Compliance
Being able to quickly see whether or not a stray color or text style is used that is not in the Assets panel would be so helpful. Easily reconciling any texts or colors that aren't part of your design system. Appears that you can kind of do this in the inspect mode on a shared link, but being able to do this in design mode would be so helpful and speed up auditing designs before handing off.

Choose any state to be component's default state.
I have built a component library for my teammates to use in their projects. Most components have multiple states for hover, action, etc. What I would like to add is another state that displays the components in a lo-fi style to make prototyping faster. I would like to have the lo-fi as the default state for all of the components since that would be more commonly used by the team, and then as the details are worked out they can switch the state to the actual components to put details in.
There's no way to create a state and then…

Track changes per user
When Working At the same time in a Document, be able to see the Change Log of each user to what changes were made.
Sometimes when multiple users work on the same file, it would be amazing to see what each user has changed in the document.

Migration of asset links to CC libraries leads to duplications and unnecessarily large libraries
We are using the Atomic Design approach and have built our files accordingly. There is an underlying pattern library with all the atoms. Then there is one file for each molecule, these files use the atoms. Finally, there are the files of the programs that plug atoms and molecules together. This file structure isn't entirely because of Atomic Design, but also because we are running into performance problems with our rather big files otherwise.
With the old feature of linked assets that was never a problem, now we started to using the Library feature and are running into issues:

Auto grid and horizontal grid
It will be great to create a grid that works verticaly and horizontaly, like a grid based on the golden number. It is really ennoying that we can have only vertical grid. And also it would be great to use a feature like "auto grid" plugin to create grid using the perfect pixel. Now it is really painfull to make great design base on a great grid. Thank you and sorry for my english ;)

Resizing artboard from the left should hide content inside
Oh my, XD is so bad!
Why when resizing an artboard from the left the content is pushed away on the right but when resizing from the right the content is hidden under the artboard (the way it should be!). This happens regardless of Responsive Resizing.
This is NOT an idea!1 voteI’ll leave this suggestion open, but to answer your question: content is referenced by x, y pinned to the top left corner of the artboard. When you resize from the right, the content of the artboard is still fixed to the upper left corner. Since you’re moving the origin when you resize from the left, you’re moving the content with it. Hope that helps!

Add web banner artboard presets
Just like the preset artboard sizes for mobile, tablet, web, social and watch; I would like the web banner sizes to be added to the artboard presets for a quicker set up. Artboard size examples: 300x250, 728x90, 160x600, 300x600, 970x250, 300x50, etc

Layer Ordering by last added
Having the option to reverse the order of layers for a file. Every time I create a web mockup with sticky navigation, I have to reorder the layers so the navigation shows as intended in the prototype. XD adds to the top of my layers which is the opposite of design workflows. Seems counterintuitive since generally sites are designed top to bottom.

Identify text objects linked to character style
Like the 'diamond' symbol you have for components, please add a symbol identifying characters that use a style from the library.
Also, how do we unlink a text from a library-style?2 votesThanks for your feedback! UserVoice works best when you file only one suggestion per ticket.
I’ll keep this open for identifying the character style in the design. As for your question, you can change the text formatting in the property inspector to the right and automatically unlink it from the character style in your assets panel.

Move Assets library into its own window
Assets library MUST be in it's own window and within the component inspector as well!
Adobe! you've been developing design tools for 30 years and all of them have unique windows for repeatable assets such as Type characters, paragraphs, symbols etc. Please move the Document Library outside the General Library pane! it takes three clicks to jump from one pane (mostly the Layers) to select a document asset.

image export with stacks containing auto-height (creates transparency gaps in image)
I often have to export modules/images for dev. This includes a text portion which I use auto height with padding. Then I have the elements stacked. If the objects aren't pixel perfect it leave a gap.
So for example:
Vertical Stack 1: 50px height
Vertical Stack 2: 50px height
Vertical Stack 3: 50px height
Exports completely fine because pixel are perfect.
But if it's not pixel perfect
Vertical Stack 1: 50px height
(transparent gap)
Vertical Stack 2: 51.2px height (because of auto-height element with text)
(transparent gap)
Vertical Stack 3: 50px height
Anyway to fix this issue? Perhaps auto-height feature…

BUG: When an image is placed in a rectangle with drop shadow, it can't be repositioned or resized
BUG: When an image is placed in a rectangle with drop shadow, it can't be repositioned or resized—when double-clicking it just jump directly into editing the shape, and no image is shown in the layers panel.
(XD 42.1.22.4 x64 Mac OS)Please fix this
1 voteHi Vlad,
Thanks for the additional details. I was able to reproduce the issue and I have opened a bug to track this.
Meanwhile a possible workaround here will be to convert the shape to a path, and after that the resize/reposition should work.
Thanks,
Corina
