    Here's how I would expect the share functionality to work:

    You click the share tab. You get to create a link and select ANY artboards you want to share with that link regardless of what's going on in the prototype tab (it can select the prototyped ones by default if there are any and select all of the artboards by default if there are no prototyped artboards). There should be a "select all" button because sometimes people design a lot of screens. Then you can OPTIONALLY pick a home artboard to share with THAT specific link and you can simply click it again to remove the home artboard (it can default to the first one in the series if left unset).

     

    Then, I simply click "update link" and it updates the link (because my first step was creating or selecting a link). At any point I can rename links and use the checkboxes to control what UI is being shown when someone visits the link.

    So basically I'd recommend making the LINK higher up in the hierarchy and let the user make some much more intuitive decisions for that specific link when it comes to which artboards to share.


    Hi,

    I see your point here about being able to publish all artboards. Given that there is a home artboard already set on canvas, and there is no direct way of removing it, you are unable to publish all screens. We understand that this can be annoying.  


    Please note that we are going to provide the ability to set and unset of a Home artboard in Prototype mode soon. Apart from that, we are also thinking about providing a way to publish all artboards from Share mode, irrespective of whether you have wired a flow or not.

     

    To your point about selecting artboards in Share mode and not respecting any wires set in Prototype mode, would that not be confusing? Why would you define home, wire screens like a flow in Prototype and not want any of that to carry over into Share mode?

    Hi,

     

    I have this problem where I've applied interactions to a page. This page messes up the ability to Share a presentation - since only said page shows. There are no left/right arrows to navigate the presentation! If I remove the prototyped page the arrows are back. Is this a bug or a feature? 🙂

     

    Regards

    Johan

    Hi Johan,

     

    We are sorry to hear you are experiencing issue with XD. Would you mind sharing a short video of the workflow for better understanding so that we can check at our end? What is the OS & XD version of your machine?

     

    We will try our best to help.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Hi Harishka,

     

    I can't show you the problem since it's an ongoing project, but I've discovered that my problem is discussed on this thread (where you provided an answer!):

     

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/unable-to-see-all-art-boards-while-share-for-review-in-adobe-xd/td-p/10750483

     

    There seem to be no clear solution to the problem of artboards not showing i Presentation mode except that you have to connects all artboards with each other and the Home artboard, which is a clunky "solution" at best and works just so-so. I also tried killing all my prototype connections but that didn't solve the problem. Only pasting each artboard into a new XD file worked. Luckily I only have like ten pages in my project. But what if there where a hundred? That would take precious time.

     

    In the thread you say that:

     

    "If you have nothing connected in Prototype mode, then you need to make sure that you haven't made any artboard as home artboard to share all the artboards."

     

    But if I have made an artboard the Home artboard, how do I "deselect" it - and will I be able to see all artboards in the presentation if I do?

     

    Possibly I don't understand how XD works, but this prototype/share/presentation problem seems to need some work from Adobes side.  🙂

     

    Regards

    Johan

    What did you guys do??

     

    I go to prototyping and link a couple art bords together. Share a link and the other 90% of the document is not showing up. I link all the artboards together and still 90% of the document is not showing up. 

     

    I am scratching my head and asking why would you bother changing a function that was one of the best parts of the application. Now do not know how to share a file with a developer. Where are all the artboards? Why are they hidden? How do I get them to show up in a developer link?

      When you go to the share tab in XD does all the artboards are Highlighted in Blue color? 

       

      Also, try referring to below links

        All artboards (Screens) must be connected to the home artboard before you share. All the artboards grey in color in the share tab won't be shared. Check the following link for more information. - https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/xd/help/share-designs-prototypes.html
