how was this even released without masters etc ? its a no-brainer

New 2019 update for XD...and still DON'T have the ability to have a global navigation that will retain set wires in a symbol or Master Artboard when using that element across multiple artboards.

Still can't use Adobe XD until this is fixed. And it is still listed as only under review. Adobe frustrates again.

"Feature-Under Review" since Dec 2016

Holy crap, this is a major oversight. This is really frustrating, and its something that should have been included in the first release. Would be nice to actually have a global nav that get perpetuated across the project would be an improvement.

For everyone else fighting this problem, my hack for this, which works reasonably well, is to make my navigation menu on a separate artboard, and treat it like a modal/overlay on click. Then I have one artboard to change if the client has changes and all my wires still point to the same artboard, making those changes global.

You can then copy and paste your nav button anywhere you like, (with the prototype tab active) and it should retain the wires and position. Would love an option to define an artboard as a global layer, and then have a check box to select "use global layer XXX" whenever a new artboard is created.

Incase its not considered already- Responsive & fixed options please.

I cannot use Adobe XD until there is either a Master Artboard or Symbols that will keep their wires when used across multiple artboards. I will not waste time having to make global navigation wires or having to edit global navigation wires across multiple artboards when I need to make a change. I don't understand how Adobe has been so short-sighted in this basic prototyping need. And how this need has been stated for so long and it is still in and under-review state. It is the one thing that keeps me from using XD. Adobe likes its bells and whistles while forgetting the fundamentals. Also a lack of urgency and priority for such a fundamental item is frustrating. Adobe continues to stack up its mis-steps. ie latest changes and user issues with Illustrator and Photoshop that are also frustrating so many long time users.

Creating a new instance from an element or artboard can be useful. This basically would work as a symbol, but without appearing on the symbols panel. This can be achieved by symbols currently with elements, but there is no way to do this with artboards.
This is an useful feature when working with repeating, but not often reused components, like overlays, therefore linking the screen appearing in the background with another artboard.

I can't believe I still have to go through each artboard 1 by 1 to update my menu... its nuts... this has got to be the number one time waster with XD. I absolutely dread my client coming back to me with a navigation change. Of all things, a navigation change should be the least of my worries. We need to be able to manage global Navigation.

yess great! also need an option to auto-animate overlays, and an option to specify different delays on different elements.. so that we dont have to create multiple artboards

A master art board sounds good, the ability to effectively have multiple artboards mirroring a single one. Changing the master will reflect everywhere else.

Would be nice to have an option to 'Mirror Artboard' alongside the duplicate option. Often designs will have a consistent framework, but you might not want to make X symbols. If you could simply mirror an art board X times and add unique content (append) to each one that would be handy, so you have a master art board.

use" Widgets for XD" Plugin for this

Up-vote! So excited for the next round of feature updates!

Would love to have this!

As I understand there is no way in XD to change an element (or layer) and be reflected in all the artboards. Let us say, I position the logo in the header in the center and use the same header in 100 artboards. Is there a way to say that this is a master (a la Axure) or shared layer (a la Omnigraffle). Now if I move the logo to the left side it will be changed in all the 100 artboards. This is extremely useful.

Yes please! This needs to be #1 in the queue .

Masterpages,.. very much needed indeed !

master page, please!

I think if you give the option to save behavior in Symbols, it will be very similar.
I mean I want to keep all the menus as a symbol. Then I will add this symbol to every page that needs this menu.
And when launching the prototype, I want that the menu will work.
