Cannot access XD

Report · Jul 02, 2023

I'm going to rant for a moment, so please just indulge me. So I am working through the XD portion of the Coursera Google UX/UI course and I went to work on my assignment today only to find that it says my XD trial has expired and evidently, XD is no longer available to use as a single app, and it doens't even appear to be part of the all app plan anymore either. Fortunately there is a plugin to transfer the file over to Figma, but it looks like I am going to have to rebuild every component and interactive element and redo every prototype connection. That's such a gut punch, as the project was about 99% complete and all I had to do was clean up a few elements. Everything I've read about Adobe supporting existing users appears to be rubbish. End rant.

Xd's fate is in a bit of a limbo right now, but the frustration is completely understandable. The app is only available through the all-app plans right now. I expect there to be a more official Xd to Figma solution at some point, but as the acquisition process is still ongoing, so it's probably too early for them to release.
