Option to publish all screens even without prototyping
If I started prototyping and publish design specs without the prototype linking all the screens the design spec shows only the screens that are linked in the prototype. The specs link doesn't get updated even if I remove all the links.
In today’s release (XD 27), you can now unset the home artboard in Prototype Mode, which will then publish all of your artboards to your link.

Go to Prototype > uncheck the Flow 1 or Home icon (so no artboard is selected) > update link. ALL artboards are now shown in sequence.

Please implement the option to choose/select specific artboards to share. Without the linking-work. Just by mouse arrow. Like with Craft at Sketch.

Uhm, I remember the first time you released the forced link concept, NO ONE liked it or understood why you did that. So now your telling us you have re-released it?! Even after saying "we at Adobe have listened to you". So now we are back to the nightmare of having to LINK the arboards we want to share for development? Jisses. I'm definitely so leaving XD this time. Enough is enough. Figma here we come.

This is absolute nonsense. It just doesn't make any sense. Why do i need to wire all my artboards before developers see all the screens. This 100 steps backward please

I was always able to share all screens without prototyping and the latest XD update suddenly removed it. Why??
I recently updated a share link to an existing file and with this new XD update, now it will NOT share all screens unless they are wired. This removed all but one home screen of an existing link share with developers with important notes, that I can't revert back to unless I wire all 30 screens. What was the point??

Why is adobe adding useful features and then taking them away? I just do not understand why a doc for the developers need to be linked. I share UI Kits this way as well and the pages in here also do not need to be linked. This newly removed feature is hindering the workflow in the entire ux dept at my company. Adobe is excite to tell us about new features for every release, but don't tell us what they are taking out or why.

Several little things about XD that frustrate me, but this is the one that produces a visceral anger. I publish for development only to find that somehow I clicked something somewhere and now ONE of like 50 artboards is showing up, and the only way I can manage to make them all show up is to manually wire each one. Just terrible.

There are multiple open tickets here with 300+ Votes for additional flexibility when publishing screens for developers. Really hope this gets resolved soon. Would be very beneficial for us.

It's insane that we don't have full flexibility of which screens to show. From the same file, I would even want different sharing links to show different things. Eg a couple of interactive flows in one, a subset of artboards in another, a different subset in another, and maybe another link with all artboards.
Without this, I'm not even going to try to use XD seriously as a sharing tool - it'd be a wasted effort.
...and right now, I can't even remove all interaction links to show all my artboards. When I do this and update my link, it complains that there are no interactions connected to the homepage, and won't share anything
...and another thing - if I go to the page to manage my links, delete them all and then return to XD, it doesn't update and still shows all the links there!
Just seems like a half-baked and buggy feature

Yes please make this feature! There used to be a way for me to publish my design system out to my developer and show all of the artboards by simply not prototyping any screens together. Please bring that back or make it so we can choose which screens to share, especially a Share All Screens button.

Default should be to export all boards. You can choose to leave some out if required.

PLEASE ! ! ! It's really frustrating to share fast just few screens out of 100 to discuss just a small aspect. I have to rearrange, rename, reconnect. And after that I often had the case that the order was wrong, although I did linked it correctly!! But in my web browser I can't rearrange the order (in InVision it's possible but exporting specific PNGs (to upload in InVision) is also the same: complicated and poor quality)
It could be so easy: Just select the ones I'd like to share and click" Share"!
Or how can I handle Smartphone, Tablet and Desktop versions of my projects? In different documents? Oh no! Please not!!!

Yeah, you should be able to select/unselect artboards in the "SHARE" persona view.
-
John commented
Yes. Please. Sometimes you want to provide developers with artboards showing additional specs in written form to make things clear, or possibly even hover state and other examples in one sheet. This isn't in the prototype, so you have to export it as a seperate file then.
