Question

Unable to close pop-up box for: This is a Read-only library -

Hello,

 

Working with the CC library within XD has been an issue for some people in our team. It seems that they randomly get the "This is a Read-only" message. 

Of course, this makes sense since they don't have the full rights of changing the library content.

 

However, there are still several issues that happen, even when people are not working with the CC library itself, and I quote:

1. "It happens pretty randomly - sometimes when I drag and drop a component, sometimes when I start XD, it can pretty much happen anytime…"

2. "What have I done wrong when this happens in my CC library? Can't seem to get rid of it without closing XD..."

3. "I just tried to click and drag elements on-page. For some reason the library thinks that we are trying to change something, but why?"

 

As you can see, there are a few issues that are happening here and looks like a bug of some sort.

I would like to have some kind of explanation on how to deal with this issue, or if this is something that Adobe is aware of and if they are going to fix it.

 

I would understand that for a person that doesn't have the right to edit the library, to get this message for a brief period of time but seems that this happens pretty randomly and they cannot get rid of it without restarting Adobe XD.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I will need to test this on my end, so could you please share a few more details like:

 

  1. A screenshot of the About XD under the help menu.
  2. The version of the Operating System.
  3. Do you get this pop-up even when you are not trying to access the library?
  4. Will it be possible for you to share a video of the workflow you follow when this happens? If yes, you can add the video to cloud storage and share the link.

 

Regards

Rishabh
