I have a very large project in xd, and find myself and the developers scrolling through pages to find the next update or review, is there a way to create a one-page "table of content" ideally with a link to the associated Artboard?

thank you, for now, what i do is keep a link to an excel file in google drives to manage the artboards + comments, i consider to use the google drive plug in after a few tests i found it does not update well 

 

Thank you

Hi @gustavos56078190 , I can only think making naming and placement of the artboards in some kind of a naming system, maybe starting with update/edit dates etc or component/element based. Maybe creating a list for the whole design system also can help, even in a prototype just for finding the related artboard, when user clicks an element showing the name of the artboard in a popup etc and then maybe that'd make it easier for the designer/developer to find that artboard in the actual work file, which has the artboards placed in some kind of an order as I said. Those are the ideas I can think of now, hope this helps!

I see, that's a good idea, if you don't mean Google Sheets plugin (instead of using Excel) be sure to check, maybe it can work more seamlessly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4WcXN2vfPo
