Im reletively new to XD, (and am anticipating a move to figma when adobe do something with it)  and i was wondering if someone could help me with a libraries question?

 

So ive got a bunch of elements im colating in a global library, some create from within photoshop and some created in illustrator.  When viewing them from within XD, i get the option to edit a library element within Photoshop if it was created in Photoshop, but i cant see an equivelent option for items created in Illustrator .  Am i missing something?

 

I can also go into illustrator and edit the item from the library in there, but it would be nice if i could link out to everything from within XD

 

thanks for your help

Nick

    oh ignore me.  Just found you can edit them from the left library panel.  (ive just been right clicking in the canvas up till now)

    although im quickly realising that librarys within XD are quite a confusing beast (if the items are created within XD - seems a bit broken 😕😕 )
