Question

Opening Multiple Saved files

  Brand new to XD and using for a UX Design class. Currently working through the design process for a website and mobile version of my site. I created a early desktop version of each page one by one, saved and started the enxt page. Now that I want to transition to the Lo-Fi and show connectivity I can only open one saved file at a time. I can select the files i need but XD opens each file in it's own instance of the software.

 

Is there any way to open multiple saved files in XD in one instance of the software?

 

Only way I can see to do this differently is to create all the pages one by one in the same canvas and not save until it is completely done?

Thanks

    If I'm not missing something, you can upvote for this feature request for that option https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/13781706-tabbed-design-view-for-multiple-files

     

    But if you aim to connect multiple artboards with different styles/fidelity levels, yes, they need to be on the same canvas, there's a limit and for performance you don't want to include too many artboards in one single file but for what you need I think it'd be totally possible. And of course you can save and close the file before completing all artboards 😉  For more info on artboards you can check https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/get-started-with-artboards-in-XD.html or many YouTube tutorials https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=multiple+artboards+in+xd Hope this helps!
