How to share your design space in XD

Posted on by ambros

Overview:

  • Sharing types
  • What does a design review look like?

In this document, we’ll go over two share types:

  • Sharing the entire design file
  • Sharing a selection of artboards

Sharing your entire design file

Invite faculty and staff to access your design file by entering their name or email address. Be sure to use your student login in order to successfully find people by name.

Click on the icon to show the “Share document” popup
Option 1. Find the Simmons faculty, staff, or student you want to give edit access to
Option 2. Type their email

Sharing a selection of artboards

Share select artboards so they can access only these designs for comment and review.

You’re now directed to the Share mode where you can name your link, set its intention (design review, user testing, send to the development team, or presentation). Note: If you update your designs after creating the link, you must update the link.
