How to manage hundreds of Adobe XD screens

[unifiisoftwaresolutions]

Good day, I need advice on how to better manage my screens.

When I started I created files per feature/tab. Each of those already contains an insane amount of screens. I have a master prototype in each file that is the single source of truth of what we currently have live in the system.
When a change is needed or a new feature should be added to a (single or few) screen, then I copy that specific (single of few) screen out of the master copy and drag it down to the bottom of the pasteboard where I then work on it. Only this is then released to the developer to implement and only when done with development I will update my master copy.

Now, this sounds like it could work BUT I end up with many of these 'in development' artboards that need to be managed as to when are they done to be merged back into the master and some of them never even get to development as changes are made to our roadmap which throws them way out to the back or even completely out.

I sit in quite a situation now where I need some guidance from bigger teams, I am the sole designer, and not really anybody that would understand the situation to give advice.

Would appreciate any assistance, what is the best practice in this situation?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi @unifiisoftwaresolutions ,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand managing many screens, and multiple versions can be challenging, especially when you're the sole designer on the team. You can check this article about creating design systems with Creative Cloud Library for large-scale projects. I am leaving this discussion open for experts' suggestions.

Thanks

Thank you. I have a design system in place. Unfortunately, that is the least of my problem. Will wait for more comments on my post.
