Tabbed design view for multiple files
Similar to Photoshop or Illustrator (See attached file), it would be valuable to allow for multiple files to be opened and arranged in the design pane using tabs. This would give users a quick way to switch between their projects and will provide a much better workflow in general.
This is a must for me!

OP posted this in 2016, its 2021 and we still don't have tabs. What does the product team do at Adobe? Twiddle their thumbs I assume...

Please, for the love of the gods, let me put my XD documents in tabs. I can't live like this.

For the love of everything...PLEASE get this feature moved up in your backlog. PLEASE!!! At least let us know when we can expect it. This just doesn't make sense and is incredibly frustrating.

I'm glad that this issue is already posted here. But confused that this topic has been here since 2016! Seriously Adobe! It's a standard feature for sure: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Sketch, Figma have tabs - but not XD. Please please please add them. 🙏

XD - like most other applications in creative cloud and on the Mac OS platform can gather tabbed documents with the "gather windows" option
The fact that XD can't do this for working on multiple documents simultaneously is a missed opportunity for increased functionality.
You should also enable dark mode - it's silly that this app doesn't have interface preferences to do this.

How is this not standard? Also, how is there no proper scale tool for a group of objects and text? (Looks up Figma pricing... "It's.. it's free?")

This is a no-brainer. Annoying the hell out of me. Please add this!

Adding my vote to this feature as well. It is very necessary for efficiency and work flow. I would complete my job so much quicker 😩

Adding my vote for this feature. Really surprised it wasn't part of the original release!

Is this STILL not a feature?

I'd love to see Xd provide the ability to have multiple documents open in tabs, instead of individual windows, like other Adobe applications: Ai, Ps, etc. Unless this already exists?

I know the XD team is cranking out new features all the time, but this functionality is standard within the industry and Adobe apps.
Looks like it has been Under Review for 4 years now. C'mon guys, can this be prioritized?

....do you guys need some help designing the tab functionality? You've got 87 of us (minimum) who would be happy to pick up the slack for your team.

HAHAHAH "Under Review"? Like you have to think about it? Who's thinking about it? Who's going "guys......I understand we've implemented this paradigm in every other Adobe app but....................Gosh, I don't know if this is the right call........"

Why didn't Adobe implement this feature yet? How can they assume designers can ignore this?

How is this not a thing yet? Seems like it would be a simple/quick fix. Come on Adobe!
