Showing Layers AND Assets at the Same Time
I can't believe this suggestion doesn't already exist, but I work on a 32" or a 27" monitor all the time. I have plenty of screen real estate. Why not let me view both Assets and Layers panels at the same time?

As a user I want to see both my layers panel AND my component panel open at the same time and all relevant contextual options available through right click on an object for BOTH panels.

Agreed. Sad that this is almost 2 years old and no news on this. The customization of the Photoshop/Illustrator Workspace has me spoiled. I feel like I am constantly swapping between Layers and Assets when doing visual design prototyping in XD.

Agreed – I find myself going back and forth between the layers panel and components panel constantly, and with a two-monitor setup it would be great to have both perpetually displayed.

I have noticed that when I am working on designs I am constantly toggling between the layers panel and the assets panel that it is frustrating. I will need to rename and edit a layer but then need to color something, change a font, etc.
I feel at least giving us the option to stack the panels like photoshop or move them around the interface would be helpful. I would personally love to have layers and assets open at the same time.

This is a must have. XD has the worst panel management I ever seen in any design software... Hey Adobe! Did you hire any UX designers to create your "experience design" software? Seems you didn't.

I've just started using Adobe XD, and this is already the most annoying limitation I foresee. Especially when I'm placing multiple placeholders on different artboards.

Is this being worked on? This feature request is 20 months old and it hasn't been addressed. What is going on Adobe? Xd UX is driving me mad.

This is insane. It's 2019 and those panels are still as they were. I'm on 21:9 monitor and it drives me crazy.

Adding another comment to this because this is becoming more of an issue now with with Components, Character and Color styles. Switching back and forth between Layers/Assets becomes a complete pain.
It would be great to have a way to show both.
It would be even better if the panels could float outside of main work window. This way I can put them on a second display and have a larger canvas area.

Great idea, but I think detachable asset and artboard panels would even better.

this is adobe software, correct? so why doesn't the window / panel functionality follow the standard pattern WITH EVERY OTHER ADOBE DESIGN PRODUCT? i want to move my panels around. i want to put them on a second monitor. i want to show/hide the panels as i need. i know this isn't too much to ask since it's been my workflow on *adobe* products for over 20 years.
