As you're aware, comments/pins can be applied to a prototype once a link has been generated. However, if a new link has been generated since the previously generated link, then the previously applied pins are erased. When generating a new link, introducing an option which allows the user to carry the pins over to the new link would be very useful feature.

Duplicating or resaving a document does not retain the comments/pins.

Perhaps having the option to apply comments directly within XD could be the way forward. This would allow the creator of the document to add notes, or even flesh out rationale to support the design before passing over to clients or devs.

As a Designer I want to create links that will not change during the project for iOS, Web and Android.

I want to be able to update all (iOS, Web, Android) in one click.
I want to be able to generate a single link for both prototype and specs; all should be updated in one click.

In such case, the links should not be changed but stay the same.

Why is this valuable to you?
Because when designing both iOS and Android applications from one XD file I cannot manage/update 2 spec links at the same time, and have to re-generate one of the 2 links when wanting to publish updates.

I'm often designing for multiple user flows, and thought it would be nice to use the multiple share links feature to share separate links for each flow from the same file. It's dope that this can be done!

However, it's tedious and difficult to a) remember which home screen is attached to which shared link, and b) remember which screens were used in which share link. Sometimes one screen from one "flow" will link to another screen in a different "flow," for example, which makes it hard to deal with. Especially when making simple screen updates it's a lot of work to just update a thing I've already shared.

It'd be awesome if when you switched share links in the panel if it re-highlighted / remembered the screens attached to that link, and which were home. Yes, I could split flows into separate files...but dang, it'd be convenient if those headaches were just made easy.

Please consider creating a standalone viewer, similar to how you have a standalone PDF reader, so clients can open local XD files for viewing.

This is valuable to me for a number of reasons:

1. My client (military) expects to have access to these demos "forever." Our demos cover not simply what the final UI for the final product will look like, but we also create interactive documentation for the product using XD. Over the course of many projects (and links and passwords), this is not sustainable.

2. The shared version that the client sees via the browser often presents incorrectly, particularly with items that use auto-animate. Items animate or jump in a haphazard way when interacted with and are not smooth like they present in the native app. We should not have to explain to the client that the animation really doesn't look this way. Right now we either have to make a video showing them how it works or screencast the animations and interactions while in XD.

In any event, a simple viewer would go a long way in helping us. We could send files securely to the client and they could save the file, open it, and view it as it is meant to be viewed. They would not be able to edit the file.

Thank you for your consideration and votes.

I know that XD is UI design software at first and that is the way it should always stay. But all those functionalities that XD has, makes it an awesome slideshow presentation tool.

As a designer I can't stand creating my own presentations on PowerPoint for example. The lack of control on visual tools in PowerPoint is just way too annoying. And I can guarantee that I'm not the only one!

XD would make a phenomenal difference here. So if you guys could please do one more presentation mode (online and offline) for presenting artboards that scale to the current screen resolution. And that presentation mode would just scale my artboard to maximum width or height of the screen resolution and always keep the artboard aspect ratio.

For what we have now in XD I can do almost everything I need to (for those presentations), except present my FullHD artboard on 4K resolution for example. I get huge black bezles around my artboard on fullscreen mode. And on Windows I cannot do real fullscreen directly from XD. Instead I have to use browser for that and even there scaling up my presentation to fill up the screen is pretty much no-go.

This text is written from the Windows user point of view. I don't know if the grass is greener on the Mac side of the field. It can for sure be.

I work with clients and design partners from different companies and I use the collaboration tools extensively. I even had to call support to fix my device because the XD files were over 1GB and were crashing the software.

Currently, I'm reaching the limit of the artboard size and want to share the library to new XD files in order to continue to contribute and grow the brand library of assets (as this is considerably smaller than the whole XD file).

So, I would like to have the possibility to set a shared library in a new XD file as the main document library (to be able to grow this library but also to maintain a single source of truth for the brand assets while collaborating with other peers).

Thanks
