Dear Adobe,

Is there current functionality so that imported files can be automatically updated?

Kind of like how you do it in InDesign (Relink).

That would be so great!!!

Love ya.

    XD internalises imported files so you cannot update them like InDesign, but I totally agree the "update" command is definitely needed - currently there's no way to update the image assets other than drag & drop from the OS window, which is crazy

    Being able to more easily update graphics would be a good improvement.

        Hi TonyUX,

        Thanks for using Adobe XD, I would request you to take a look at this Linked Symbol documentation: - Linked symbols.​ This may help you carry the desired workflow.

        Please update this discussion in case you need further assistance with this.

        Thanks,
