What is Adobe XD?
In case you are new to the UI/UX design world or you have spent the last year of your life on a desert island, Adobe XD (aka Experience Design) is a new design and prototyping tool developed by Adobe.
Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and design program developed and marketed by Adobe Inc. Originally designed for the Apple Macintosh, development of Adobe Illustrator began in 1985. Along with Creative Cloud (Adobe's shift to monthly or annual subscription service delivered over the Internet), Illustrator CC was released.
By using one unique powerful tool, XD allows you to easily wireframe, design and prototype web & mobile products and experiences.
- Even though Creative Suite 6 is out and is a phenomenal release, some folks still need the earlier versions for various reasons: 32-bit vs 64-bit (e.g., After Effects and Premiere Pro), compatibility with other software or systems owned, the rest of your class or company is still on CS4, you need to.
- Adobe XD v34.0.12 – 38.0.12; Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 – 2021.2; Adobe Premiere Elements 2021 – 2021.1; More soon in Adobe Zii Mac 2021/Zii Patcher 2021; A few of The New supports By Adobe Zii Patcher 2020 For Mac: Adobe Acrobat DC v19.021.20047 – 20.012.20048; Adobe After Effects 2020 v17.0 – 17.5; Adobe Animate 2020 v20.0.
Adobe XD was previously known as “Project Comet” and was launched in February 2016, as a preview version and only for Mac, with a very limited amount of features.
Month after month, Adobe released new updates, adding more and more features based on the feedback received by its growing user base.
At the time of writing this guide (Aug 2017), Adobe XD has grown into a solid and fast piece of software, available as a Beta version for Mac OS, Windows 10, iOS and Android.
Adobe has yet to disclose when the Beta testing period will be over and the full version of XD will be released.

About this guide
Although still in Beta, Adobe XD’s set of features keeps on growing with every monthly update, so I thought it would be useful for the whole XD community to have a complete and up-to-date written guide covering every single feature included in XD.
You can use it as a quick reference if you don’t know or don’t remember how to do something. Or if you are a total noob, you can read it from the beginning and get to learn Adobe XD step by step.
It has been structured as a big 11,000 words written tutorial, spread across 26 chapters, starting from the very basics at first, and then gradually moving on to more advanced topics.
It’s quite easy to navigate by using the chapters list on the left (or at the bottom on mobile) and I tried to write it as a more conversational guide, rather than a cold software documentation.
I really hope you find it useful, it took me quite some time to create it! I will soon provide a PDF version too.
Ready to start? Then check out the second chapter: The interface.
