All symbols and artwork, simple or complex, are transferred as editable with 1:1 visual fidelity. Artboards are preserved, something that doesn’t happen when copying and pasting, and the entire layer structure with naming and order remains intact, so no more tedious work re-organizing content after transferring it to XD.
