Trigger Action Send to Back Page Option - We can have the procedure to "Send to Back Page" option, when linking single page from multiple pages or links, it can help designer to create presentable flow when there are multiple scenarios involved, I hope you understand and provide solution...
1 voteAs someone else mentioned in a comment, this already exists as the “Previous Artboard” target. Check out this tweet for an example: https://twitter.com/elainecchao/status/1039215680002899969

Access Shared for Review documents with XD mobile apps
Currently if you share a document using the Share for Review function the receiver can only see this document on a web browser. This has limitations, both on viewing experience (browser chrome gets in the way) and performance.
It would be great if the prototype could be seen directly inside the mobile XD apps instead, under the Shared with You section.
1 voteMessage from Arun:
While I see your point about browser chrome still present when viewing a prototype on mobile web browser, I am not sure I understood the issue with performance.
Can you elaborate more on why you felt the performance of viewing prototypes on mobile web is slower? Any specific examples that you can share will help us dig into this further and improve the experience.
On the viewing experience as well, we have recently made some improvements where-in maximum real estate is now used to show the prototype in its glory. Browser chrome on most browsers go away after some time allowing you to see the full height prototype. Please give this a try and let us know your feedback. I am eager to hear more from you.

Auto-animate : Raising button animation
Greetings Dev,
I hope you guys find this message well.
I am a fan of Material Design and I am android users. Material design have this feature called Raising button/card/ animate. So, hope i can see this feature near future.
1 voteAre you looking for a specific trigger so that you can get the animation on exactly the click location? I was able to fake a raising button animation using Auto-Animate.

decimals values in the grid layout
we are working on 1200px width: 12 columns, 30px margin and 72.5 column width but cant work with xd cause of decimal value problem. It is not prossible to enter 72.5 at column width.
1 voteWhile I understand the need for precision, creating grids that snap off-pixel actually makes designing for screens less accurate, as it often forces elements to anti-alias, leading to less crisp artwork when you output. Are you absolutely sure you need columns that are off-pixel? If so, can you explain why?

Resize layer in mask
Masks are completely broken and pretty useless in XD currently. You can't reorder layers, use clipping masks, or even resize a layer inside a mask. Once you create a mask group, it's basically a locked in and un-editable layer causing lots of frustration and confusion.
1 voteWhile you can’t drag elements into special groups (like masks), mask groups are actually editable after you create them. (An example: https://twitter.com/elainecchao/status/855122648069795840) Can you explain more of what you’re seeing?

Unfortunately, I don’t quite understand what you’re asking for here. Can you please clarify?

link font to color asset
Link the font color to a specific color in the asset library so if you change that color it will affect the character style throughout
1 voteAre you talking about the font color in the assets panel? Currently, if you change a global color, it should change all instances of the color, including the text.
-
Animation Order Number
Allow user to tag or put animation order on symbols or text to determine which animation comes first and which comes last.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! Can you explain a little more about what you’re trying to accomplish? Are you looking at cascading or timing transitions?

Thanks for your feedback. You can currently go back one version. How far back are you looking to downgrade?

Confirm dialog (Or Undo) when deleting Cloud document
Since moving my document to the new Cloud format, my access to the file is limited to within Adobe XD browser. If I accidentally delete the file, it would be gone forever with no way to manually back it up.
Currently, if I hit the delete button, the file is immediately deleted. Can we have a confirmation dialog or an Undo button to prevent misclicks?
I'm sure with future improvements to the XD cloud ecosystem, there would be better, more intuitive ways to preserve your documents, but I think this would save a lot of hours and headache in the…
1 voteYou should be able to access your deleted files through the “Deleted” tab in your Home screen. Are you not seeing this?

Thanks for your feedback! To be clear, are you looking to be able to filter in the assets panel?

Typeface
Would be nice, if we can change the font for the whole document. Something like Sketch Typeface.

Select Object, display font and color on sidebar
Having the option to select an object and seeing what type of font or color is being used for that specific object instead of sampling.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! I’m confused as to what you mean by “sidebar.” Our properties inspector is on the right, and the assets panel and symbols panel are on the left. Which one are you referring to?

Fonts change from user to user
This has happened to me a few times, when a file is shared between two designers, occasionally the font will load differently, even though we have the exact same font. Typically what happens is the line height of the font shows up differently. So if I open the file - everything fits fine in a text box, if she opens the same file with the same font, the 2nd line may is missing.
There was a rare case where if I open the file the line heights are 20 pxs off in the line height field.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! Are you seeing this difference across platforms? Are you installing from the same font provider (e.g. Typekit)? Information about the default height of a font is stored in the font itself, so I’m wondering if it’s actually an issue with that.

Unique id number per screen
Problem: I cannot tell clients or partners to check screen X because everytime I update my XD files with new screens that are not at the end the pages on the bottom (x of total) change. So a screen on page 45 may become 46.
Solution: Either add a new (fixed for ever) page number at the end or provide sperate (viewable IDs, probably together with the artboard's title).
1 voteWe already support deep linking, where you can refer to specific artboards via the URL. When you navigate to artboard 45 in your case, just copy and paste the URL from your bar and send that, and your clients/partners will get a link to just that artboard.
Does that work for you?

As a user i want to be able to animate an artboard to the previous artboard.
I can't animate an artboard to the previous artboard and the function is limited to selecting between just one of them.
1 voteSorry you’re hitting this issue! The “Previous Artboard” selection will take whatever you’ve set as the transition going in. Are you saying that you want to control the animation on the way back?

Select multiple Artboards, click batch export once
Selecting multiple Artboards and then clicking batch export button of one item, currently only selects that item for the export, so I have to click through every single one of them I want to be exported. Please add a feature where clicking that button applies for all selected Artboards.
1 voteBatch export works with the “mark for batch export” feature in the layers panel. Can you tell us more about what you’re trying to accomplish?

Smart objects for XD
Hi! I would love if you could create a parent or a smart object inside XD so that you not need to apply small changes to all of your artboards.
1 voteHave you tried linked symbols? Check out the description and demo here: https://theblog.adobe.com/october-2018-release-of-adobe-xd-at-max/
