What on earth has happened to the way artboards are shown in design specs now? They don't match my XD document at all like they used to, instead of actually showing my artboard setup on index the way they are layed out in XD, all artboards are now shown one after the other and the board layout is not included anymore. So now it's impossible for anyone to actually see how the userflow is meant to be on specs index cause there are no connection between what stakeholders and everyone sees in the presentations and what's on the specs index. Now I have developers and stakeholders asking me about the order of things in design specs cause there's no system. All they see is a bunch of artboards and it doesn't mirror the way the artboards setup in XD anymore. Do you know how frustrating it is trying to get a birds perspective of the userflow with 256 artboards when they are re-stacked and suddenly presented one after the other with no correspondence to how it's supposed to look in XD? It's an impossible task.

Why on earth did you change this?! Dear Adobe, please do not alter or change anything when you don't know the designers way of work. This is totally pointless and messes up everything. Couldn't you at least kept a button with the chance to see things as they were intended in XD? You just went ahead and changed the whole concept with no option to see stuff the original way. Please tell me this is a terrible mistake or a bug. Surely you can't be doing this with intent?

I can't agree more. The update of july is disappointed. The feature design specs... What the hell?! I'm so outraged. I really don't understand the choice to display artboards in grid like that. It makes no sense... Please Adobe, do something.... It's very handicapping.

Holy sh*t guys, please bring back the old Design Specs Layout. My developers hate the new one, nobody have a overview of the userflow, it's really horrible!!!
