    I don’t see how timed transitions would resolve this at all.

    The issue Calvin is describing isn’t isolated to carousels that rotate through images over time.

    The most common scenario in which I experience this issue is with single-select drop downs.

    If you have more than one on a screen then the number of art boards required is insane.

    Infact, it’s:
    #Artboards = #OptionsinDropdown1 * #OptionsinDropdown2 ... * #OptionsinDropdownN

    So let’s say you have 1 drop down for state, and later on 1 drop down for age, then you have a third drop down for marital status.

    To create a prototype supporting this in XD you would need:
    50 states * 100 age possibilities * 5 possible marital statuses =
    25,000 artboards(!!!)

    Again, this is just one example, the real problem is that artboards are static and don’t really function at all similarly to the way user interfaces do (in that a component must be assigned one and only one state within an artboard).

    WORKAROUND [Dec 2020]:

    I figured out a way to do this using two plugins from sttk3:

    SelectMenu:
    https://adobe.com/go/xd_plugins_discover_plugin?pluginId=e46fe5a4

    ReplaceItems:
    https://adobe.com/go/xd_plugins_discover_plugin?pluginId=09c942dd

    Now here is the workaround:
    1. Go to your file containing the broken links.

    2. Add the replacement component for the one that is broken to the work area.

    3. Find any place in the work area where the broken component is used and select it.

    4. In the 'SelectMenu' plugin, click the 'Same Components' option.

    5. WITHOUT DESELECTING the broken components you have just selected, hold Shift + Click the replacement component you added in step 2. (The replacement component must be the last one you select)

    6. In the "ReplaceItems" plugin, click the "Replace" option.

    Repeat the above for each broken component and there you go, no more broken links.

    Unfortunately you will need to re-apply different states and any overrides, but if that is a common enough issue you may need to revisit your component anyway :)

    PS - Cobbling together this workaround makes me even more disappointed in the Xd team for failing to implement a solution for this. It's clearly not an issue with cost or feasibility - just pure ineptitude.

    Extremely disappointed this is still not implemented. I have files with thousands of broken links following the library feature's release and there is no way to fix the broken links.

    I would literally be content if it were the most rudimentary "select a component to replace the broken one" option but even that is not implemented.

    In Premiere, when your media goes offline, does the app just say "welp, that's gone for good - best of luck"? NO! It lets the user open the finder to replace the missing footage... Linking 101 level stuff.

    Good applications fail infrequently.
    Professional applications fail infrequently and allow their users to recover when they do.

    Xd is a failure in that regard.

    If you get lost following my example, I attached a real world example from ADOBE illustrator.

    How would you create this modal in XD without having all of the icons/text/elements in the background present on both the art board for the "General" tab and the "Type" tab of the modal?

    From my usage of XD - its not possible.
