Show Layout Grid in Development Share Link
Show layout grids on artboards when in development mode - how this feature (https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/inspect-design-specs.html#Viewandinspectlayoutgridproperties) was removed as a feature with update 24.x boggles me...

We’ve returned this in the January version of XD. You may need to republish with layout grids turned on in order to get this option to show up again.

@edu you may need to scroll down to the bottom right panel to turn them on once you're on the development share screen. It's very arbitrary.

Not working!!!... need it urgently!! Republishing doesn't resolved it. Time before was easy to activate. Now there is not any toggle button to do that in browser version.
Seems somebody there at Adobe is having lots of fun with our daily customer tragedies...

Appreciate the update as it was much needed. However, would it be possible to adjust the functionality so grids do NOT have to be toggled on before creating/updating the Share link?
Seems like an unnecessary step to require the designer to remember to turn on grids every time.
Thanks!

Sorry - never mind, I cleared my cache, logged out and in again and the box was back! It's a little bit buggy atm - if I turn the switch off and on again the grid doesn't come back, but I hope the Adobe Team only have little bits left to fix!

Hi Harun. Can you let me know if I've missed something:
- View -> Show Grid in the desktop app
- Share Link for DevelopersI can still cannot see any option to turn the grid on in web view? Is it the same as before on the bottom right of the development mode screen or something new?

It's unofficially back, I have tested it with this latest update 25.2.12, it works. You need to enable it within XD before updating shared link.

Just Checked this out. The feature is there, but in order to turn it on in browser preview you should share your prototype for development with grid layout VISIBLE (turned ON). At least it worked for me

Do we have an ETA on this? It's very inconvenient that it's no longer working...

Really need this feature to collaborate with our developers. I thought it would be fixed this update today(25.1.12), but it's not.

Leider kann kein Layoutraster mehr im Entwicklerlink angezeigt werden. Obwohl dieser mit Layoutraster freigegeben wird. Muss hier noch etwas bei der Freigabe beachtet werden?

Really hope they bring it back quickly, there's no reason to make our developer's work harder.

This must be a bug. This is essential for designer developer collaboration.

Apologies for the inconvenience. The layout grid functionality broke in XD 24. We are in the process of fixing it. Expect it to be fixed in the coming releases
