How to Share Your Adobe XD Designs and Prototypes
Adobe XD is a tool used by many designers to create mockups and wireframes for a variety of media. This includes software applications, mobile apps or websites.
If you are creating designs and prototypes for your co-workers or clients, you may need to send your designs to them. This is a good opportunity for you to get feedback on, present, or test your designs.
In Adobe XD, you can generate a share link based on your sharing needs. This includes design review, development, presentation mode, and user testing. You can also add your own share link custom settings.
How to share your design for design review
Design Review presets allow others to view your design and provide feedback via comments. You can also start a discussion about your shared prototype or design.
If you haven’t started creating your design yet, you can learn more about how to get started creating graphics in Adobe XD. You can also learn how to design for web and mobile applications with the Prestige Adobe Suite UI/UX Certification Bundle.
When your design opens in a new browser, click the message icon on the right to open the comment panel. This is where you can add comments to your Design view. Other users can also add reviews and comments on your work, which you can respond to.
How to share your design and UI assets for development
When you share your design with developers, the developers usually also need the asset or image that you have included in your design. You can add these assets to your link for the developers to download and use.
To share these, you’ll also need to mark your assets for export.
When your design opens in a new browser, click on the code icon in the right-hand column. This will let you and other users see a preview of all the assets available in your design. You and other collaborators may download the assets using the download buttons provided.
How to share your design for presentation or testing purposes
You can share your design and open it as a full-screen window for others to present. The full-screen functionality is also useful if you want to share the link with other people who are going to test your mockup.
Wait for your design to open in a new browser. Use the arrow buttons at the top of the browser window to view your design in full-screen mode for presentations and user testing. Once you’re in full-screen mode, press the Esc button on your keyboard to return to the browser.
How to share your design using custom settings
There are cases where you may need a combination of features provided in the different sharing presets. For example, you may need to access comments, full-screen mode, and developer assets from a single link. To do this, you can create your own custom settings.
