Infinite Canvas
One of the main reasons we use Sketch is because of the infinite canvas. For large web projects, there can easily be 60+ artboards at 1920px width, which would run into the edge of XD's canvas. Please make it infinite - it's also very annoying trying to zoom into an artboard at the edge of the canvas, since you can't center the artboard in the view properly.

Maybe double the size as a start?!

The current canvas size is definitely much too small. I can't start using Xd until this is increased, or like someone else has suggested, allowing multiple pages could also work.

Why to limit XD visualization operation?（Be sure to like Adobe Illustrator?）In the file, web page design more unified component, very inconvenient
为什么要给XD限制可视化操作范围？（一定要像Adobe Illustrator一样？）在文件多、网页设计图统一组件的情况下，很不方便

Hi,
artboards could be great for separe your design by features or devices.
But I agree with Linford Lof, I have the same problem a lot of screens for a rwd plateforme and I will be quickly restreint by the workspace. -

Need this feature badly! It has been flagged since 2016, and still no progress?
Been struggling with 100+ artboards for a large website project . -

On second thought..."pages" is what is needed. We don't need to see everything at once.

Have an improvements/updates been made to being able to manually determine the size of the workspace in XD (ie: Illustrator)?

From my point of view we´re dealing with a high-level-priority-issue!
Please make it infinite, pleeease! :(

Designer's can't switch at work, because every Sketch file we use has 216 1920x1080 artboards in them and Xd won't show that many.

I understand that many boards can fit into the space provided, more than enough for any project, but I like to organize my boards in a way that helps me to plan out and make sense of the overall structure of my projects. Working with boards in this way takes up a lot of space, more than what is currently provided, so it would benefit me greatly if that limited space be changed to something that could accommodate my preferred way of using these boards. But rather than having to set the dimensions of this space, I suggest making those dimensions expand and contract according to how it is used. I hope this gets implemented soon. Thank you for continuing to improve this wonderful product. All the best.

Maybe scale down the request: Please double the canvas as a start! Thanks!

Not having an infinite canvas drove me away from Adobe years ago and it's still a sticking point. My team have more artboards than XD can handle and no one wants to switch because of this. Please continually loop me in on status updates. Thanks.

ALL of my Sketch-projects blow up XDs canvas … It's not only the amount of artboards it's also to place the artboards in a logical order and that often requires to have more space in the width and height!

This is still a big problem, if you can't link XD files, then the infinite canvas is a necessity! Please solve this seemingly simple thing. Sometimes you want to organize menus and things and need to keep things clean in the canvas!

Hi, I've been using XD for 2 weeks now after years on Sketch. And already I hit the canvas limit on XD. What is this? Please make it infinite. For years I haven't had to worry about this on Sketch.
Apparently this issue has been started in 2016, but still in 2018 it's an issue apparently.

Very important!!! One of the famous reasons for me still using Sketch!

This is also a huge issue when opening sketch files in XD - a lot of my artboards go off the bottom of XD's canvas and I can no longer see them since I can't scroll down that far.

Since it is not infinite boards, it would be nice to link to other files at least. I can't have everything in one file!!!

My app contains many screens that cannot fit into Adobe XD...
