You can share a link to your Adobe XD design or prototype directly from within the application by creating a shareable web link. This allows others to view and interact with your work in a web browser.
Sharing your Adobe XD projects enables seamless collaboration and feedback collection, whether you're presenting a prototype to stakeholders or providing developers with design specifications.
Steps to Share Your Adobe XD Link
To share a link of your Adobe XD project, follow these straightforward steps based on the process for generating shareable links:
- Access Sharing Options: Navigate to the appropriate view or panel within Adobe XD dedicated to sharing your project.
- Configure View Settings: In the View Setting drop-down, select any of the available presets. These presets often tailor the view for different purposes, such as prototype review or design specification handover.
- Set Access Permissions: Determine who can access the link. You need to set link access permissions to control whether the link is public, private (requires password), or invite-only.
- Generate the Link: With your settings configured, Click Create Link. Adobe XD will process your project and generate a unique URL.
- Retrieve the URL: The generated URL will appear in the Link Settings pane. You can then copy this URL to share it via email, messaging apps, or project management tools.
Understanding Link Types and Permissions
When sharing from Adobe XD, you typically create links for:
- Prototype: Allows users to interact with the prototype flows you've designed.
- Design Specs: Provides developers with detailed information about design elements, measurements, colors, and assets.
Setting link access permissions is crucial for controlling who can view your shared project:
- Public: Anyone with the link can view the project.
- Private (Password Protected): Only people with the link and the correct password can view the project.
- Invite Only: Limits access to specific individuals you invite via their Adobe ID.
