This is a mission-critical feature whose absence is breaking workflows worldwide. As stated by others, implementing collaborative features and then making them irrelevant in the same breath is awkward at best - and and worst threatens the XD Product Team's streak of recent wins.

Extending the functionality, consider a "Don't allow link publishing" for those cases in which one genuinely doesn't want such functionality - such a use case certainly exists.

Thanks Adobe, I still love you!

I would also like this feature in an XD update.

Can this also allow collaborators to invite new collaborators? I allowed co-editing to my CTO, but he's unable to invite a new dev to the document, only I can as the file owner. As a contractor, this obviously slows down their flow.

Or is there an easy way to transfer ownership to the CTO so that he can add and remove collaborators as needed, as long as I can still update the designs?

I will not switch my team to the premium plan without this feature. It's an ESSENTIAL feature !!

This is insane to me that you are allowing cloud sharing of a project but not allowing a basic function to be shared with the ability to allow multiple users to push an updated link. Makes sharing cloud documents kind of pointless.

Hi, I have paid an app company to create a prototype for a couple of apps. I'm not going ahead with the development of the apps through this company and they originally told me that if I didn't want to continue then I could take the prototype with me. However all I am able to get is a link. There is no way of me transferring the prototype to my adobe account even though I own the IP. If I want another company to make some changes then they have to start from scratch because they can't make changes as it stands at the moment.
So really I'm not in control of my own IP.

I think that it is about time since multiple people are working with the same file

I think this needs really a bump to get into the next release. :)
It doesn't make sense to have co-editing and sharing if only one person can update the prototypes.

We often collaborate here in Schwarz IT on projects and continue work of others - and if we use the Adobe Cloud (instead of files on a server) to get all the benefits we actually hurt ourselves as we cannot update the prototypes or create new links.

Thx in advance

I re-read Jacob's original comment from Aug 2017...

"Only the user who created a prototype link is able to update that link. The thinking is that the owner for the link may not want others making changes."

I definitely understand that could be the thinking behind allowing only the owner to update the link to control content that is published for review/feedback. Can we bubble up the request for multiple owners of a document as a solution? Or is that a separate feature request?

This maintains the control and lets the original owner of a document go on vacation in peace while other designers are cranking away. The holiday's are upon us. People need vacation! :-D

Hey Adobe!

There are lots of people that really want, I dare say need this feature! I see that it is in the backlog. Can it come out of the backlog and onto the next release????

Please???

What if I write a poem to entertain your developers and product owners? Will that help?...

There once was a designer designing
Her colleagues begged her from resigning

She said no way, I have to go
Sharing designs is way to slow

We need collaboration sharing badly
If you don't add the feature, I'll depart sadly

To the rescue the devs worked all night
To fill the request, it was a delight

They posted on uservoice late-a
Hey yall! Your feature's in beta!!!

We really need this feature, come on!

Love this software but our team is expanding and using more outsourcing so this is becoming a bigger and bigger issue.

What's the point of cloud documents when I have to create a copy to update a new link? Going to end up just going back to invision for prototyping at this rate, clients are sick of preview links changing every 5 minutes.

For co-editing to truly work, you need to be able to update the share link across the team. Not just the original owner. Makes no sense.

Coediting makes no sense if I have to rely on the owner to update the online design specs/link. We need more flexibility as a team. This is an important feature that Figma also have.

Allow multiple owners please so that there isn't a dependency. You could also give owners the control to indicate whether others are only editors or co-owners.

Yes, this is critical. We had a team member leave, so they no longer had a company account with Adobe so every prototype link stopped working. We've had to generate new links for all the prototypes that were shared.

Yes! I frequently run into issues where I'm taking over a file my senior has started and shared with me that I can't then generate a link to share for review with other colleagues.

Changing the owner or make multiple owners would be great. We have multiple team members working on projects and if the team owner is not available we still want to be able to update the review of dev links.

In a cloud-based, coediting enabled file only document owners can update Share links for review/development and this feels bad in a shared working experience. Need a permission (Can Share?) set for non-owners to update prototype/spec links, especially since we have document history now to rollback undesirable changes or bookmark document states before share links are changed.

Co authoring is a great addition but there's one feature that drives my team nuts. We edit each other's files but it's still up to the owner to push changes to the shared link. I want my team to be able to share files I share with them and vice versa.
