Hi

after updating XD today I am experiencing a very annoying change:

I CANNOT SEE THE LINKS BETWEEN SCREENS in prototype workspace.

Please tell me it's just a bug and you are fixing it already...I don't want to think you made the links invisible on purpose!

Looking forward to any news

Cheers

    Jonathan confirmed that this issue has been fixed in XD 21.0 released today. Can you update to the latest version and let us know if you are still facing this issue?

    Thanks,

    Oops, you did it again!!!

    Guys cmon...

    I just faced devs cause their link visualisation changed completely to a grid view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    U N U S A B L E

    And again without ever asking us users feedback on this eventual change before doing it!!!

    I am really fed up.

    Will make a new post for that!

      Not unusable, it's like another view or approach, but our frontend developer first called me to give her the proper link :-) To be honest: now the "desgign specs" is the same as the prototype with more functions. I also miss the zoom in and out possibility the "Adobe XD running in the browser" like experience.

      I opened a new discussion here Developer link layout GRID VIEW - UNUSABLE please bring it back to previous

      Still think it's unusable since you miss all the structure which was essential to navigate the product

      I just wanted to continue working on my complex project, when I found out that my prototyping is just broken. I've wasted one hour trying to find a solution, instead of working for that hour. AdobeXD in now basically is just broken for me, I could not work anymore. Connection in groups within groups is NOT showing when I'm selecting an artboard.

      I understand that this is made for good, but in the end, it turned out to be a bad idea. I don't know how can I finish my work now, I'm desperate. I really really hope this feature will be back asap. I always update my XD when the new update is out, but I think that was the last time.

      You are making a tool for UX designers, so this is very odd that you haven't thought of the inconveniences this might bring, haha.

          Update today it’s back to previous wires.

          thanks for listening to our feedback and please, next time you think of changing a primary feature/tool try asking users opinion before going On.

            Just happened to my project too, and desperately need this feature back.

            I tried the recommendation to CTRL + A to select all links, but somehow by doing it resets all Trigger key settings...

            Now all the links are broken.

                Update – Based on the feedback we’ve received, the wire highlights when selecting an object or artboard have been restored. This change will soon be available in our future update.

                    Guys, it’s SO uncomfortable that now when an artboard is selected in prototype mode, you can’t see all the interactions that go to and from it. Will this feature come back sometime?

                    As I see there is a new update today for Adobe XD. Should we download it? Does it have the fix for this issue? No documentation or change notes, version history as always, but it would be useful.

                    I just installed this update without any documentation, but sadly it does not bring back the interaction wires per artboard I'm not sure what's actually been updated...

                    Please go back to the old version, it is nearly impossible to work connections with a lot of screen and connections.

                    We have deadline to work with and this is nearly an unusable product now.

                      yeah, really weird - can't see probably 95% of my wires...even when selecting an element that I know has a wire and even still works when Previewing!

                      Marquee-selecting also does not show all wires on selected art boards (at least on Windows)

                      Only Ctrl-A select ALL shows ALL wires...how is this the intended workflow?!

                      For a minute there I thought ALL my Prototype wires were blown away.

                      Please please please fix this ASAP.

                      Pretty peculiar how this update passed QA.

                      QA = in this case I think proper software testing, but what kind of testing, smoke tests and is the new feature(s) working as expected or is there somebody who can see it from a wider view, from the user's perspective, I think this is an example of a bit too fast relase dates causing UX problems on a UX software :-) Or they think the software is used only for the some kind of "simpler" projects like in the tutorial videos (not too complex mobile app projects with only a couple of screens / artboards). I'm using the software to create prototypes for a complex web based logistical application with many modules that serves military and civilian simulators...

                      Don't be misunderstood, I don't want to hurt Adobe, and I think this is the right direction that the XD stands for with fast continuous updates to be first in features and usability between countless competitors (I don't want to run a pile of software for the same reason or just run Sketch on an super overpriced Apple product and deal with the PC-Mac compatibility issues). I would like to continue to use his "eco system" and the feature to have the possibility to display hover etc. states what was mentioned here would be again a great improvement. I think this situation has been handled well, especially if you don't have to wait weeks and months for the fix (to solve this problem).
                      But let's face it: now it's harder to work with the software than before, which is not a progress, or a pleasant condition in a long run.

                        This has also suddenly become an issue for me with the latest update!

                        While I like the new Properties in the side panel feature, the loss of the display of interaction wires when an artboard is selected has negatively impacted my productivity and overall speed using the app.

                        I had to look online to find a solution and noticed the Select All keyboard shortcut helps, but it shows all wires on all artboards which is a nightmare when there are very complex wires everywhere, so it's not always viable.

                        Unless I use the Select All feature now, I have no other way of viewing the interactions I have in place, but it doesn't display as effectively as selecting a single artboard, and also groups of interactions are now difficult to determine. Someone mentioned dragging across the artboard elements, but this can get messy, inconvenient and risk errors.

                        Perhaps some sort of interaction management section should exist? Like a list of interactions as objects in the side panel for example. If I select an artboard in the current updated version, I see the interaction properties for the artboard, but can also see all the interactions contained within that artboard as well, and potentially be able to edit them there too. Either that or some other interaction management system.

                        Hopefully the ability to see the interaction wires again on an artboard returns as soon as possible!
