Options for viewport vs fixed overlay

Be able to choose between an overlay that appears over the viewport or an overlay that is fixed to a specific position within the artboard. This way we can account for two types of overlays:
1. Overlays that are persistent like menu navigations
2. Overlays that are situational like dropdowns within a form

This particular feature request was filed before we had robust states support, which enables you to create elements that fix to specific content, like flyouts, dropdowns, etc. If you’re still interested in this feature, please do file again with some examples of what you’d like to do with overlays that you don’t want to use component states for. Thanks! https://www.adobe.com/products/xd/learn/design-systems/components/make-menus-components-with-nested-hover-states.html

    Please allow me to create an overlay below the fold!! this is really messing up my workflow

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    a way a round could be:
    1 - Create a component (Ctrl+K) or (Mac key+K)
    2 - Define a state (as many as you like)
    3 - BOOM!

    Is there a hack? Is there a way around? I guess Adobe XD prevents this to happen to remain XD file small??

    Any chance anyone can help here?

    This makes me really miss prototype in invision... Can't believe XD doesn't have this function... Please fix, otherwise it has been such a frustration after designed everything, but not able to make it work

    Is there ANY efforts being made to allow Overlays below the fold? This is highly frustrating to not have this feature. I'm prototyping a desktop web layout. I can't believe this isn't available. My overlay needs to live at the bottom of a large gallery thumb...and currently I can't drag it below "the fold". This is nuts. Why would you guys limit something like this? Please fix ASAP and allow the ability to have overlays below the fold.

    Please prioritize this topic. I am having problems in every layout without this possibility.

    Please fix this ASAP

    This feature only makes sense with designing mobile apps. Overlay is a very potential feature, especially in designing web layout. Please add this soon!

    For those still waiting on this, would recommend giving component states a try because I'm able to create things like dropdown menus, or even modal forms using them.

    I don't understand why this is not available. There's no point to the feature if it is confined to above the fold.
