Preview prototypes in real time on mobile devices

Preview your designs in real time on a mobile device connected to your computer using a USB cable.

Preview prototypes in real time on a device

  1. Connect your mobile device to the USB port of the computer running Adobe XD on desktop. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of XD on desktop available on Creative Cloud.

     

    • Ensure that you use USB cables that transfer data. Some USB cables can be used to only charge your devices and cannot transfer data.
    • Looking to plug iPhone into a Windows machine? Make sure that you have installed iTunes for Windows to preview your design or prototype on your iPhone.

  2. Open Adobe XD on your device.

  3. The artboard that is currently selected (or in focus) in Adobe XD on desktop is displayed on your device. All the changes you make to your designs are reflected in real time on your mobile device.

    If you add wires creating interactions in Prototype mode, you can see the interactions work, just like in the Preview window on desktop.

  4. Use the triple tap gesture on the mobile app screen for more options:

    • Browse artboards: To scroll through all the artboards in your design.
    • Share this screen as image: To share a particular artboard as a PNG file through email, Slack, or other channels.
    • Hotspot hints: To enable hotspot hints while viewing the prototype.
    • Swipe navigation: To prevent you from swiping when interacting with a prototype.

Preview XD documents saved as cloud documents

You can preview your XD documents by saving them as cloud documents on your desktop. 

  1. Make sure that your XD document is saved as a cloud document on your desktop.

  2. Open Adobe XD on your mobile device.

  3. In XD Documents, you can see all the XD documents in your Cloud Documents folder. You can search for files by filename, then sort them in ascending or descending order (alphabetical or last modified). After you find the file you want, tap on it to view the file.

  4. While previewing, use the triple tap gesture to access the prototype options:

    • Browse artboards: To search and jump to the desired artboards in your design.
    • Share this screen as image: To share a particular artboard as a PNG file through email, social media, or any other sharing option provided by your device.
    • Hotspot hints: To enable hotspot hints while viewing the prototype.
    • Swipe navigation: To enable swiping when interacting with a prototype.

     If you have enabled zoom accessibility, use the two fingers double-tap instead of the standard three fingers tap.

  5. After you have reviewed the design in your mobile app, you can share the prototype with reviewers. 

    Before sharing the prototype, make sure that you have the hotspot hints are turned on. Triple tap the mobile screen and enable Hotspot Hints. 

  6. Share the prototype link with others through email, social media, or any other sharing option provided by your device. Triple tap the mobile screen and press Share for Review.

     You can share a prototype only if it has been shared at least once before using the XD desktop application.

Fonts on mobile devices

Here are some ways to manage fonts on your mobile:

  • When possible, fonts are sent to your device when you preview on mobile. However certain font vendors do not allow for the transfer, display, and distribution of their fonts. You are responsible for ensuring that you respect the font license agreement between you and the font vendor.
  • While viewing a prototype on mobile, if the required font is not present on your device, you get an alert message. The missing fonts are substituted with available fonts.
  • Adobe fonts
    Adobe Fonts will auto-activate and display correctly when previewing an XD cloud document in the XD iOS or Android mobile apps.
  • Non-Adobe fonts
    iOS 13.0 supports installing custom fonts. Users can install custom fonts through third party apps using methods that Apple provides, or by using the Creative Cloud iOS mobile app (iOS 13.1 and later). 

Delete downloaded XD files from your device

To control the storage space on your mobile device, you can delete downloaded files, by tapping Settings > Preferences.

Here you can view the amount of local space used, and then tap Remove Offline Documents to delete XD documents downloaded to your device.

You can also remove individual files by selecting the file and disabling the Available offline Option. 

Preview published prototypes in mobile browsers

When you open a shared link in a mobile browser, you can view the prototype with a zoomed-in artboard. If the artboards of the prototype are unlinked, swipe left or right to navigate from one artboard to the other.

Zoomed-in view
Pinch to zoom
When you open the prototype for the first time, your browser window can go idle for three seconds, then a pinch icon appears. This pinch icon does not reappear in the same browser even if you open another published prototype. Use the pinch gesture to pinch in on the artboard for the pan view. 

Use the following options in the pan view:

  •   icon to navigate to the home artboard. 
  •  arrows to navigate through the artboards. 
  •  icon to comment on designs and prototypes.

 Use the pinch gesture to zoom to the original size of the prototype. You can zoom in to 200 percent and out all the way to 25 percent without losing content quality.
