Animate individual elements separately (custom animation transitions / microinteractions)
Support for simple animation.
Example: Show/hide a slide or push menu
This would enhance a demo and engage prospects that are familar with common application patterns.
Reopening the feature request, based on feedback.

Yes please! Would be so helpful when creating things!

A step in the right direction! Could use a "Custom Animation" field, so we can paste in the values of a curve from AE or some other animation tool to create custom ones! Please and thank you so much!

I like this! But I think if we could just add an individual animation interpolator to each element would fine, something you could find in AE. No need to have too much settings, an visual curve interpolator can set duration, offset or spring effect and so on. Quick and easy.

A feature that will make all the difference, we look forward to it.
Anyway Adobe XD has to focus more on animation techniques than anything else because the design can be done with several other software, so animation is essential. -

would love this feature for sure

Try Protopie and/or Kite together with Adobe XD.

As much as I'm itching for these features from XD, I believe their first phase of development is to showcase all rapid prototyping functionalities first then proceed on the animations and other cool features very soon.
But I do hope they release it asap! -

Maybe a good interim solution is just support Lottie? But, ideal would be some kind of link to AE project comps, maybe with the same Bodymovin/JSON restrictions, with export to Lottie. Something simple for now (cause we're desperate), with something mind-blowing later.
GIFs worked horribly in Invision, and failed to load/play with speed, so maybe that's not the way to go.

This feature would make XD the 'go to' prototyping tool. Currently have to use Atomic for these transitions and micro-interactions.
Come on Adobe!

Really want this feature - would be amazing to show how a slider would work on a mockup :)

Just duplicate a path onto a second artboard and then edit its path points to be a different shape. It's a very powerful feature - the number of points doesn't even have to be the same!
@Tony: You can animate objects that are "offscreen" (outside the artboard) without grouping. If two artboards are already connected via an Auto-Animate transition, you can move an object outside one artboard's bounds as long as it is still inside the other artboard.

By adding Auto-Animate you are just of 1st step of a bigger stair. A lot should be added to the XD for making it useful like keyframes, animating shadows, blurs, colors, one of the most important one is animating the vector changes of a shape, hover effects, triggers & etc. . This should be open till perfection & also improving by every single update.

I made a request for this already but I don't think I titled it well. Allowing animation on objects that are off the screen without needing to group them with something on the artboard would be excellent. Then the objects can behave differently once they are on screen.

Mr. D commented
Auto-animate is a good start but like many great suggestions from previous comments here, it should be an ongoing feature improvement. Making this a rich feature like no precedent would bring XD from good to great.

Peter Villevoye commented
I also think this 'feature' is not a one-trick pony or a case-closed request. It should be an ongoing subject within the growth stages of XD. Just like having assets and styles (both file and cloud-based) for visual and typographical content and settings, designers need to be able to create, re-use, and adapt 'styles' for transitions and animations.

While this suffice for me, I would like to store animations in a symbol, like a text field for example, where clicking it expands it, or a toggle so i don't have to make a new screen for every toggle i put
