Add description of logic to design specs

[RobXG]

Published design specs include specific design details of a screen (fonts, colours, etc.) but I can't see where to add a description of the logic in the page. E.g. if I have  two radio buttons I might want to describe the different behaviour if one is chosen over the other, or the validation to apply to a particular field.

Of course I could write a separate document that references the XD design document, but that would be more difficult to maintain.

So my questions are:

1. Is it possible to edit a design document in the free version of XD to add a description of the logic in a screen?
2. If not, is it possible to do 1 in a paid subscription using XD?
3. If neither 1 or 2, is Adobe considering adding this functionality?

Thanks!

This is not actually a correct answer that Atul_Saini offers.

Comment box in toolbar doesn't really cut it. It should be in the design itself and easily enabled/disabled from view. Almost like tooltip kinda behaviour. When I do design coders always ask for extra specifiactions about logic of the features since you really cannot extract that from mere XD design. For me it measa that I need to add cumbersome textboxes or extra artboards for specifications.

Hi VAR_Fi,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. You may check out this "Document chat plugin" in XD which might help you in collaborating.

Let us know if that helps.
