Windows XD UI overview

“

- [Instructor] The UI of XD on Mac and Windows is very similar, but there are some differences. You have the same Design mode, Prototype mode, and Share mode. The Properties Inspector here is on the right. You have your Tools here on the left. You have your Assets panel, Layers and Plugin panel, all here, the same location. But a couple of things, for example, under Edit, Object, and View, some manual options that are available on the Mac, are not available here on Windows. To access elements, for example, Guides and Grid, on Windows, you have to select an element, right click, access the Context manual, and here you can see information about Guides, Grids, and you can also undo, redo normal things that are under Edit on the Mac side of things. If you want to access Elements, for example, to save, or access CC Libraries, that's all under the hamburger menu here on the left. So, at the top left, you can click there, and you can open a document, you can access UI Kit Links, you can turn spell check on or off, you can export. And under Help down here, you can sign-out, sign back in with your account, change the language of XD if you want, see who's working on it, and all that. Just a big disclaimer here. Chances are the UI that you're looking at right now will change, will evolve, mainly because we're improving XD pretty much every month. So, every month there's a new update to XD, and maybe new updates can change the UI.
