This. I'm managing QE efforts on internal projects, where Xd prototypes are the source of truth for UI validation.
Once I start doing any kind of certification testing based on those prototypes, I need to know that the reference prototype is locked down. Last minute tweaks are a reality, and I really need to be notified of any changes to the reference prototype, and to see some kind of audit trail that lets me know what changed and when. Visual history would be ideal, but even just a list of dates, committers and comments would be enough, in the event that I need to go back and understand why something failed (e.g. why did the prototype show one behavior, but we shipped with another, etc.)
Right now, I'm totally dependent on someone using an artificial process on the honor system (slack channel notifications, email, shoulder-tap), which means that we're fighting human nature on a process that will invariably break down under pressure.
