Are Libraries really this bad or is this a bug?

Hello all!

I use both Sketch and XD, but being a PC user I am on XD quite a bit, working in version 34.1.12.9.

  1. I created and published a library.
  2. Used a component in a few other XD files and saved them.
  3. Selected the Edit the main source on one of the components from one of those documents.
  4. The original library file opened and I made changes to the component and saved the lilbrary. Then...nothing.
  5. No updates, no blue circle indicating an update, no messages, and absolutely no method for pushing these updates to the documents that are linked to this component.

I have searched to see if there is some method for doing this, but all text indicates this should be automatic like it is in Sketch.

If I am doing this wrong please let me know. Thank you!

    Looks like these might be known issues? https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/known-issues.html.

    In the process of updating a book so I want to have the easiest method laid out. Ugh!

    Hello,

     

    i am on windows 10 with newest xd release.

     

    i have the problem when i create an libary just with colors assets, it will completly work as it should, i can change or add colors and update them all to the cloud. but at the point i add text or components assets all get stuck, i cant update anything anymore, even if i delte the text and copmponents assets. it shows me clear i should update but it is i never solved promise for xd at this point. 

     

    when i create a libary with colors and just with text assets, at the point where i puplish the libary the puplish button becomes an loader and will stuck for ever, but the libary is created in my cloud libs but without assets, same with the combination with colors and components asssetss. when i reopnen the xd file it is still unpuplished but the libary exists in the cloud. after puplishing and overwrite existing libary fragment the xd file is connected to the libary but i canot sync any assets.

    Hi there,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. This is not expected and it looks like you are following the correct workflow so could you please share a few more details like:

     

    1. The version of the Operating System.
    2. Is this happening with a specific file or multiple files?
    3. Could you please sign out of XD and Adobe CC Desktop app, close CoreSync, and all Adobe related processes from the Task Manager/Activity Monitor, and then sign back in on Adobe CC desktop app to launch XD from there and let us know if you are able to see the changes.

     

    Regards

    Rishabh

    Hello Rishabh,

    I did all this. I exited anything down in the Task Manager that had Adobe in the name, Quit All Adobe apps, and signed out of the Creative Cloud and signed back in. Components are still not updating, or providing any indication that an update was made 😞
