Can I transfer ownership of the XD Cloud Document?

Good morning,

Over the last 6 months I have been working with my collegue on a prototype using an Abobe XD cloud document.

 

I am leaving the project that I am currently on and need to make sure my collegue is not interrupted in any way.  I shared the prototype link initially and since then he has not been able to share the prototype - he ends up having to ask me.  (I think I have somehow become the "Owner").

 

What is the proper procedure in this case?  I have searched and cannot seem to find anything.

 

Thank you.

    Hi Doug,

    currently, it is not possible to transfer ownership of the document. On this page, there is a case very similar to yours: Change owner of cloud document

    !! Please prioritize transferring or sharing permissions to update already generated links to view files in a browser. !!

    Not having this capability is totally impractical and a real pain point for designers, developers, prioject teams, project managers, and executives. EVERYONE!!!! Please fix this asap.

    No transfer/reassignment of file admin/ownership permissions poses problems when a person leaves the company. I am working for a large corporation where the previous creator and owner of a mission critical XD file left the company. I took over the UX design aspects of the project but cannot update any of the previous employees XD file links that have been shared throughout the entire company downstream/upstream and with contracted dev services. I cannot just create a copy of a file and generate a new link when the old original link exists in multuple locations and some unknown... I cannot access these and change out the link to a new one.

      Hi Doug,

      currently, only the owner of the file can create and update the link of the prototype.
