Share prototypes

Open the Adobe XD file that you want to share, and click Share to switch to Share mode.

From View Setting, select Design Review to get feedback on your design or prototype. Click Development if you want to share your design or prototype with collaborators. 

To create a public shareable link, from the Property Inspector in the Share mode, click Who has access > Anyone with the link. Select Only invited people can view option to create a private shareable link. Specify a title for your prototype. To customize the viewing experience, select Custom from View Setting, and set the following prototype options:

• Allow Comments: This option is selected by default. This option enables you to provide  feedback on the prototype. For information on how reviews work in XD, see working with comments in the review workflow. 

• Open in Full Screen: Select this option if you want the prototype to open in full screen when a user clicks the link. The prototypes open in full screen at 100% of the actual size, allowing viewers to get a realistic view of the design experience. If the design does not fit on the screen at 100%, the user has to scroll to view the complete screen.  

• Show Hotspot Hints: This option is selected by default. This option allows you to see hotspot hints in the prototype. If a user clicks in an area that is not interactive, the areas that are interactive are outlined thus indicating clickable areas.
• Show Navigation Control: Select this option if you want to enable the display of the left, and right navigation controls. When this option is unchecked, the navigation controls are hidden.

• Require Password: This option enables you to add a security layer to the shared public prototype. When you select this option and set a password, reviewers are required to type in the password to view the prototype. For more information, see Password protect a shared prototype.
  

After setting the required options, click Create Link to create a shareable link.

After setting the various options, click Require Password. In the password field that appears, type in a password that satisfies the password rules. The password must have at least eight characters, and include one of each of these characters: A-Z, a-z, and 0-9.

Adobe XD cloaks the password characters when you create a shared link for prototypes and design specs. To reveal the password as you type, click the visibility icon. Click Create Link button. When you share a prototype or design spec, the password is not saved to improve security.

After you set a password, only the reviewers in possession of that password can access the prototype or design spec. 

XD does not store your password or send it to reviewers. Share the password along with the published prototype or design spec link to reviewers.

Change password: To change the password of an already published prototype or design spec, click inside the password field and type a new password. You can then update the existing link, or create a link.

Remove password: To remove password protection of a shared prototype or design spec, deselect the Require Password check box. You can then update the existing link or create a link.

Forgot password: Because XD does not store your password, if you forget it, you can set a new password for your prototype or design spec and update the link.

Click the Share button. Then click Manage Links.

The Your Work section of Creative Cloud opens in your browser.

In the Published section in Your Work, click the Permanently Delete icon corresponding to the prototype or design spec, and confirm that you want to delete it. You can also select multiple links and delete it at once.
