May 2018 Update of Adobe XD – Info UI

The future of experience design

While we’re excited to introduce the starter plan, we’re even more excited about what’s to come.

Over the coming months you can expect to see significant progress in advanced prototyping and animation capabilities, new team collaboration features, and support for extending XD via plug-ins as we continue on our journey to provide you with an industrial-grade, end-to-end platform for UX design.

To support our efforts to create an extensible platform for creativity, we’ve announced a $10M fund for designers and developers to encourage the development of plug-ins and integrations with Adobe XD and Creative Cloud. You can read more about that here.

Enhancements in May release

Getting back to this month’s release, we’ve focused our attention on enhancements that increase productivity when working in XD.

Want to see the new enhancements in action? Check out Adobe Live from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT May 15-17, 2018, to see top UX designers using the latest features in Adobe XD.

We’ve also released 5 new UI resources made by top designers to help you get started on your next project. Learn more and download them for free here.

Swap symbols

You can now swap symbols on the design canvas by dragging a symbol from the assets panel and dropping it directly onto the symbol you want to replace. From there, all copies of the symbol on the canvas will automatically be replaced. This productivity improvement means you no longer have to search and manually replace all instances of a symbol, one at a time.
