XD prototype wiring from a file into a new file including the wiring

Hi all,

how can I get the prototype wiring from a file into a new file including the wiring? I can insert all artboards, but unfortunately without wiring.
Thanks for the support

Hi @caln2456029, I tried this way and as I see it I'm able to paste the artboards from another file with existing wires/interactions:
1- Open the file you want to paste the artboards from.

2-  Select "prototype tab" in that file.

3- Select the artboards you want to copy.

4- Open the file you want to paste the artboards with interactions/wires.

5- Select the prototype tab and paste.

As you see the key point is copying and pasting while prototype tab is active in both files. Let me know how it goes for you and share an example file if you need to so we can take a look if it doesn't work maybe some other expert can suggest something else. Hope this helps!

Hello, thank you, that's nice. This solution is for when things are moved/copied within the cloud. However, my wish is to paste Wiring content copied from a local file into an existing Cloud file that has already generated a URL. The URL should be the same, as quite a few colleagues refer to this updated file. Re-creating the wiring and sending a new URL each time is unproductive. The reason why I work locally should be very well understood in my support log files: I have often seen many (3-5) hours of work disappear in front of my eyes. This should not happen.
Kind regards

Hello, I just tested with a cloud file and in the prototype tab, by dragging a selection that includes all the interactions/wires and artboards I managed to paste it into a cloud document. There might be some problems of course in some cases in case some elements have some "previous artboard" etc as destination but those can be resolved. Thing might get complicated for some more complex structures I understand but I pasted the local artboards and interactions in the prototype tab of the cloud document: https://xd.adobe.com/view/6448055e-a611-4ea3-93d7-5db05cbfd3d9-311b/ 
(artboards with blue elements were from a local file) Maybe meanwhile some other expert suggests something, hope this helps!

I see the same requirements that colleagues have. This would be important to implement in a timely manner.

I see sensible essential questions/important suggestions in the comments/wishes, some of which have unfortunately not been answered or implemented. This is a real pity in terms of UX.

Thank you
