Allow multiple people to share a link to the same URL (multiple owners of a prototype or design spec)
Collaborative work: Updating 'share link' of an .xd file not possible on another machine
System: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
XD-Version: 0.8.22.17 Beta
We are working with different people on the same .xd file. Updating the prototype link is only possible on the machine with wich the .xd file was created. The other people can only create new links.
1. Create an .xd file
2. Publish prototype
2. Save the .xd file
3. Open the same .xd file on another machine
4. Updating the published prototype link not possible (only creation of new link)

I’m marking this as feature in the backlog, as this is something we intend to do in the future.

It's a real must have else contributing to a file with multiple editors/publishers is impossible.. I have a file that someone else created. the published for review link has been commented on by a client.. I can't update the doc with out a new link created.. and of course doing that means i loose all the comments!! Even if i was invited to edit it i still can't publish it and update the same link.. please please fix this as it makes having one file thats shared pretty useless..

Right now, if I create a specs or a prototype link in my computer and my co-worker later opens the same file, she is obliged to create another new link. This causes problems that could be solved if we had 1 spec link and 1 prototype link per file.

We are on the same boat here. In our case, some of our designers work remotely with different adobe accounts. It is extremely annoying that we have to share to new links with our developers, each time we have an update. This is especially trouble making when the file owner has left the company/is no longer available.

Still not a feature? Come on already.
I make a design > A coworker has to edit it later > Must ask me to update the prototype > I'm on a vacation or dead or left the company... > Well crap. -

Please please figure this out. I definitely want the be able to add another owner or at least another level so that another person on my team can share for development etc.

This is a blocker for any design team at scale. Its been 6 months since feature was requested. @Jacob Goldstein should we be expecting a fix ?

When i share same credentials for adobe ID for all the users which in this case max 2 machines. And what if i have more than 2 designers in my team?

Has this feature being completed? This is frustrating
-
Yes pleeeeease more owners for a project! It's insane that another designer always has to update the proto and design specs within the same company.

This was designed wrong. We are a team of several designers who could all be working on the same file. Mass chaos has ensued because we can't provide our business partners with a single link. This is causing frustration, confusion and lost time because we keep having to share new links. Long term storage is a mess because they can't link to the prototype since it's constantly changing. PLEASE, if you must keep this sort of functionality, allow the original publisher to allow subsequent publishers to either use the same link or require them to create a new link. Don't choose for us.

It will be great if we could work simultaneously on the same file, something that is similar to Git for developers.

Multiple owners would be ideal for us!

We definitely need to be able to allow multiple people to update an already published XD link (and keep current comments). Multiple owners - yes please!!

Muti-owners for a prototype sounds perfect!

The ability for multiple people in the team to be able to update the xd file and publish to one common link is a necessity for distributed teams. A multiple ownership approach can work but then there would be a need for version management. People working on the same file at the same time will create messy updates.

You have my vote for this feature.
The way our team works, no "single" person owns a file. One person will start the file, but there are changes being made by multiple people and we need the ability to update the prototype link without having to force the person who created the doc to rePublish.

The inability to all use the same link is a huge issue for us right now. Our team works across three countries with very different time zones and we cannot rely on one person to always be available to update the link when needed. Our poor dev team now has three different design spec links in their documentation because of our need for different designers to publish updates.

Let users edit links names!
Right now I'm working with a colleague on a project. She sent a link to the project to the client. Now I want to make some changes without changing the link, as this link already appears in other docs and was sent to different recipients.
If I could edit the link name I would have been able to update the link without sending it again to all of the end users and docs.
