Workflow Question - Illustrator XD Developers

Question

I am an experienced web designer, and workflow up until recently has always been to build static mock-ups in Illustrator and present those to clients, gather feedback, then make changes, repeat. Then hand off to developer to implement. How would adding XD in this workflow process be beneficial? From what I can tell it would be better for the approval process in the ability to show the client a browser based prototypes vs static mock-ups. What about Handing off to developers? Does adding XD enhance the workflow into production? Can people explain their workflow process.

Thanks

Adobe XD would definitely be useful as more web-friendly features are added moving forward. Right now, you can extract assets from Adobe XD and hand them off to a developer (Learn how to export production-ready assets from Adobe XD to PNG, SVG, JPG, and PDF files. ). Moving forward, there are proposals to extract CSS info from XD files as well. Once that comes in, you would be much better placed with your workflows as compared to Illustrator.

Adobe XD also allows you to import SVG files from Illustrator.
