Well... think I wrote about it some time ago, but haven't found it. So here goes again... its a time wasting and annoying issue, that prevents to update libraries between XD files, becoming tedious and frustrating to work and keepping updated any design system.

As you can see in the picture, it is what I see regularly after constantly jumping from original component libraries back and forth. Usualy, I've to wait for a while or repeat adjustments to update it into the linked files.

Now this looping prcess is getting more and more often. I log in-log out almost each day fro Adobe CC to avoid the daily issues... but it should to be solved. It's another wasting of time.

Hi all,

Here's a workaround solution that we would like you to try in the time this issue is fixed in the product.

  • Group, and then ungroup, all elements in the document assets view of the libraries panel
  • If you do not have any custom groups, do the following
    • Give the new group a name
    • Select all assets of a specific type (i.e. all colors, all character styles, or all components)
    • Right click and select “New group from selection”
    • Select all the assets and drag them back to the top-level group
    • Delete the temporary group

This process needs to be repeated for each asset type

    • If  you have custom groups – the same process works, but you may need to do it individually for each custom group so that it is easier to get back to their previous structure.

 

If this solution doesn't work, we will need a local copy of your XD file. Upload your file to a shared space and send the shared link to Harshika Verma who has replied to the other posts in this thread.

 

Let us know if you need more info.

 

Thanks,

Preran
