Question

The page order for viewing is random

I have created my artboards using top left to right, but the view to show clients is not reflecting the order I have put them in. 

How can I reorder the pages?

    "We lay things out from left-to-right, top-to-bottom when we share. However, only the artboards that are connected to the home artboard are included in the list. Are you seeing something different?"

    If that is not working, also check the layer order in the Layers panel to see if that affects things.

    Hey there, I was just doing some experimenting to help out another user with the order of the artboards in the prototype view.

    Xd seems to only consider the positioning of the artboards relative to the Home artboard. Order of adding or the flow don't matter.

     

     

    If there's no Home artboard selected, the order is Left > Right, Top > Bottom.

    Hope that helps.

    This has not worked - I laid all 33 artboards out and ordered them and they are not ordering.  They remain in the original order I created them.

    Hi,

    I tried and cannot reproduce your issue. If it is OK with you, can you please send the .xd Document to me by email at fratila@adobe.com?

    Thanks,

    Vlad

    Hi,

    The artboards' order is left-to-right and top-to-bottom. So if one artboard is slightly lower than the others, it will be at the end. See the screenshot attached.

    In order to be sure they are all aligned, you can select all artboards in a row and Align Top them.
