Settings and activity

I should also mention that a very similar issue was raised a while back and closed off: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/36839533-file-open-file-dialog-recent-files-with-long-fi

Firstly, I love the new component states - it's one of the best changes introduced in Xd for some time and is a game changer in terms reducing the numbers or artboards and clearing up user flows, so thanks and good job!

One of the problems I currently have though, is that if I work on a project and then move onto a different one where I need to tweak and rework some of the components I generally copy the file so that I can reuse components, but what I don't want is for the components in the new file to be forever linked to the fate of the first one if that makes sense?

There are some scenarios where this is useful, e.g. if you're building a site and have a fixed set of assets, but when building full fledged products and telling complex stories with prototypes, components are a great time saver for representing data flows and changes but I want to have freedom to use them and tweak them differently in different files.

It would be great to be able to re-base components within the new file, so the components would retain all their states etc. but I can make any changes in the new file, completely separately of the old.

I think this is the same feature as indicated in this issue, but you would need to confirm with the original poster: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/38355469-unlinking-components
