Question

The MAX update to Adobe XD (24.0) is here!

Hello everyone! The Adobe MAX update (Update 24) is bundled with a great set of features that allow you to readily collaborate with your team members, create interactive components, define alternative scenarios, and manage your assets in Creative Cloud libraries. Allow me to explain my excitement.

 

 

Real-time collaboration on documents: The feature that you have long been waiting for is now here! Coedit a cloud document along with your team members at the same time. In the end, you have a single document that is ready to go instead of having to manage multiple versions of a document from various designers. For more info, see Collaborate and coedit designs

 

Revision History: Did I say versions? Adobe XD saves versions of your files at regular intervals as you keep working on it. If you aren't happy with the changes, you can open a previous version and copy changes to the latest version. There isn't a rollback option yet, but hey! this is just the first iteration of the feature. There are more exciting enhancements to this feature coming up in future updates. For more info, see Manage design revisions

 

Interactive components using states: It's time for another Hurrah! Another request that was top of your list is now here! Create interactive components such as buttons, toggles, check boxes, and so on that reflect their behavioral aspects in real life. No more having to create multiple artboards or duplicate components to achieve these effects How neat is that?! For more info, see Add multiple states to components

 

Set multiple triggers:  You can now set more than one trigger for an object allowing you to reproduce complex or alternative scenarios. For example, if you wanted to showcase a feature where clicking a button or pressing keyboard shortcut Cmd+N leads to creating a new document, you can now prototype that behavior in XD with ease. For more info, see Wire up your screens

 

Custom presets simplify and expand scope of sharing options: Popular presets are now available for sharing your documents for review, development, presentation, or user testing. These presets have settings baked into them that serve their intent and purpose. To go beyond and choose settings based on your requirements, use the Custom preset. For more info, see Share designs and prototypes

 

Add assets to Creative Cloud libraries and organize them: Assets added to Creative Cloud libraries can be used across Adobe XD projects as also in other Creative Cloud applications.  In short, you can work with Creative Cloud libraries in the same way that you do in other Creative Cloud applications. For more info, see Creative Cloud Libraries for Adobe XD

 

Improved workflows for plug-ins and Sketch: Easily discover, install, and manage plug-ins from within Adobe XD. Import Sketch libraries as Design Systems in XD. For more info, see Plugins for Adobe XD

Started having an error with the components feature. I am able to add the default component style. But when add a state, It is becoming a master component too. So it is not showing any hover state or any other state. Thereby not allowing me to create different states. It functioned well but somehow today it stopped working. Please help soon on this as I have to train my team on this feature. Attaching the screen shot, where the hover state also shows a filled triangle like the master component. I have restarted the application and my system too. Pls help on this.

I did not quite get your question. Can you create a separate forum post for this topic and provide us with step by step instructions on how we could reproduce your issue?

Really enjoying the new features! I had a question. I am wanting to use states to have a "down state" version of my button. For example: The buttons is normally blue, when I press it turns yellow and then goes to another art board. I can't get this to all trigger on one tap. I can get tap, turns yellow, then tap again to go to next artboard. Is there a workflow I'm missing? Thanks!

You could try duplicating the destination artboard. Click the button, send to atboard where the button appears with the 'pressed' style and then link to the duplicated board, linking these last two by "time" trigger. I see it as a workaround.

Thanks! Yeah, I figured there was a workaround, but was hoping there was an actual straightforward method.

Since the November update is released, all tap functions in the the preview on my iPhone X are recognized slowly.

The trigger is 1-2 seconds slow after the interaction is accomplished. The desktop preview works fine.

Is it possible for the devs to see the specs of states? (Maybe I've missed something)

I have a big problem after this update. I can't open my project on the phone.

Because the android version of my device is 6.0.1

 

Website says 6.0 and later.

But on Google play 7.0 and later

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.sparklerandroid

 

 

As a result, I can't use my project on my phone.

Hi,

I found the hover state feature cool yes. But the ui is now quite complicated to understand. The nodes are not easy to remove. Alos been facing a problem with normate auto animate function. It just stopped smart animating unlike before. Simple banner auto animate featiure is no more animating. This is quite a dimmer. Introduce changes but dont take away what was better. I tried animating a banner a 50 times. shutting xd, but the ease in effect would not apply overall.

Hi there, I just wanted to give feedback about Adobe XD in general, and since the "Provide Feedback" button on the Adobe XD app itself opens the support community instead of an actual feedback form, I'll leave my feedback here. 

 

Adobe XD's cloud services seem pretty unstable. A few weeks ago, there was a bug that prevented me from loading any of my own cloud documents on the iOS Adobe XD app (it only allowed me to open cloud documents that others shared with me). Yet the status shown on Adobe (status.adobe.com) showed that everything was good. This bug persisted for a few hours, then disappeared. 

 

Today, the Adobe XD cloud had issues again. When I opened my XD file, the Cloud icon next to my file name showed the "Disconnected" state instead of the usual state. None of my fonts load properly, so I only see the system sans-serif font loaded on all my XD files. There are exclamation marks all over my XD file (!) that are not clickable, so I don't know what I can do to resolve the issue. I'm currently connected to the real-time chat on Adobe XD's website, but my chat has already been transferred to 2 different people who all said nothing more than "Let me transfer you to someone who can assist you better". I'm currently waiting for the 3rd person to pick up my chat. 

 

All in all I would say that while Adobe XD has some amazing features, your cloud features seem way too buggy, and your customer support is practically non-existent.

Hi,

 

I found a possible bug when working with component states. I created a state, where when applied, (among other changes) the fill colour of a rectangle is changed. When I switch states of the component master, the change is done correctly. However, on the instance of this component change of fill colour is not shown. Does anybody else have such experience?
