While you could previously open a Sketch file in XD and save it as an XD document, you can now port assets from Sketch into XD and use them as Design Systems. For more info, see https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/working-with-external-assets.html#convert-sketch

  • Export selected assets from Sketch into XD, while keeping them editable in XD. For more information, see Bring in selected assets from Sketch.
  • Copy assets from Sketch directly into XD while keeping them editable in XD.
  • Copy a Sketch file to the OS clipboard, and use the Paste Appearance option to paste the image directly as an image fill.

Thanks @Preran that's very helpful – for my trainings and customers.

Feedback/Thoughts; Why is Adobe still running after Sketch? It looks that MANY designers switch to https://www.figma.com/ right now. Browser-based and they do a lot of things just right.
