Where do we maintain the different versions of an XD file or the history of XD versions?

Is there a dedicated XD server where we maintain the past versions of an XD file? or they all are saved directly to Creative Cloud location?

Make sure you read this to learn more about file versioning. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/versioning-faq.html

 

Please note that it says: "Creative Cloud retains versions for a limited time, only deleting them as they age out."

 

I always like to remind people that for any service (not just Adobe)... cloud documents are not a backup solution. You should keep your own backups, including backups of previous versions that you really want to have.

There's no ability to use your own XD server, you must use Adobe's Creative Cloud servers.

 

When saving a file, choose Save to: Cloud Documents. This will save the document to Adobe's servers and maintain the past versions.

    Thanks for the reply Dan. So, all the past versions of an XD file will be stored in a CC location as well right?
