Question

[Design]-Components are updating incorrectly after changes in Master components in XD.

The issue with nested components. I cannot test all variants and cases that's why I'm going to describe what I managed to reproduce.

 

I created a component "Button" with several groups inside for different buttons. After that, I created a new component "Confirmation" and paste the "Button" component inside. Then I created a new file and added there several instances of the "Confirmation" component with different hide/show buttons.

Everything was fine until I modified the master component by extending the number of button groups. One of the buttons in the second file with different instances changed its location.

It's just a very simple example. Unfortunately, I have much more complicated interconnections in my prototypes and sometimes I just a little bit afraid to click an "update" button in the assets panel, because possibly I will have to reconfigure almost all my artboards.

Unfortunately, I cannot attach .xd files to that post. (Error: The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type.) Master Components Instances

Hi Pavel,

 

We are sorry to hear you are having trouble using Adobe XD & thank you for sharing the details. I am unable to reproduce the same at my end may be I am missing something. Would you mind sharing a short video of the workflow for better understanding?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

I don't know how it helps you, but okay. I recorded the video and it shows absolute disorder of nested components as well. If I have more I will add them to this post.

As I understand the fastest variant to avoid such behavior is to redesign my approach with groups/folders to states of the component.

Is there any limitation in the number of states? 10, 15 or it's unlimited.
