Organize assets panel objects (symbols/components/colors/character styles) into folders

Would love to organize symbols into folder for easy accessibility. I spend too much time looking through symbols into one library.

    We really need this.. Organising components into a Hierarchical list of folders / subfolders would make identification of needed elements quicker and easier rather than continuous scroll fatigue generated by a massive list

  • Joo Chung commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is another critical feature missing from XD. The scrolling panel and no grouping is fine if you're working on small / simple projects, but once things get complex, it's an absolute nightmare to have to scroll through hundreds upon hundreds of assets to find the one you want. And on top of that, it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to see which linked assets are linked to which repository. Sometimes I want to use specifically assets from one repo, and having them organized in one folder would be so, so helpful.

    managing design system or library will be impossible until this feature is done

  • Luiz Costa commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It would be helpful to create folders in order to manage components better.

    We need more organization options than just Colors / Character Styles / Components.

    For design systems this is a must have!

    Example:

    Components (+ new folder)

    + Cards
    + Buttons
    + etc

  • Matthias commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    At the moment you have to scroll down the whole component list to find your prefered component.

    It would be nice to structure e.g. Buttons in a Section or Folder (like Sketch or Figma do)

    Also why do I have to go to different pagination to see the contents of artboards? The contents of the artboard should appear under the artboard as a sub-folder

  • Liz commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Trying to decide if it is worth switching over from Sketch and no way to organize components/assets may be the one showstopper!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Can you classify components, such as buttons into a category, ICONS into a category, etc., which is difficult to find at present

  • Guillaume Martin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is so needed.

    Make tree-like structures for colors, character style and components assets.

    I love XD, make this happen for it to be even better.

    Please add a feature for components to have a hierarchy, a parent-child relationship, that can be created using a drag & drop to group items (nested sorting), or by having a specific symbols as delimiter in the component name, such as / (ie. a path).

    This would be very useful when designing components with different states, such as a button can have a default, hover, focus and disabled states. You would then create a single Button (default), and under it different states such as Primary and Secondary, then Hover, Focus, Disabled and you could explore these in a dropdown menu on the Assets bar. You can then use a specific component state to include in your artboard.

    Example:

    - Button
    -- Button/Primary
    --- Button/Primary/Focus
    --- Button/Primary/Disabled
    -- Button/Secondary
    --- Button/Secondary/Focus
    --- Button/Secondary/Disabled
    ...

    Ability to attribute a color to an asset – in the assets panel – to help us organise them.

  • Some Guy Online commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I would like to organize my assets into folders so I can easily hide elements from view in that panel that I don't need.

  • David Bruggink commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The way Sketch does this is great – Makes it very easy to keep symbols organized. Definitely an area where XD needs to catch up.
