[Collaboration]-Is it possible to collaborate on an XD file?

Question

A few of us here are using XD for different software.  But now we are getting to the point where we want to work on similar designs, and the easiet thing would be to copy from one prototype and past it into another.  Or have shared editable access to the same prototype.  That doesn't seem possible.  When we share files with each other all we get are views.  Yeah, we can comment, or download assets, but we can't copy an artboard or both have access to work in the same space.
 
Is it possible?  Or is this software not for collaboration?  Any way to share a document were we don't actually have to re-build each other's work?

Yes, you can !!Beware, it's a "beta" feature, so with some surprising bugs and no guarantees ! The method is simple: [step 1] you save your file to the cloud, and [step 2] you invite others to collaborate.Easy enough. But do keep an original or any crucial version as an off-line backup, because betas are allowed to screw up, and cloud files do have a tendency to not open or otherwise get corrupted on – of course – the most lousy moments. And I also hate it that they save everything automatically and continuously. Close your file, and it's saved without asking, and without a continued Undo.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for reaching out. Yes your ask is definitely valid regarding collaborative workflow. We do have a coediting feature in XD which can help in collaboration on the same document. Please check out this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/xd/help/collaborate-coedit-designs.html for more information.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Harshika
