☝️To be able to export designs from Adobe XD to Zeplin, you need to have the desktop app installed on your computer.
- Right click the Adobe XD CC folder and see if it is unlocked. If the folder permissions appear correct, check if there is a ‘ contentaccess ’ subfolder inside there. If it’s missing, reinstall Zeplin. If it’s present, share the contents of the folder with me over a private message using the instructions in my previous post.
- With Zeplin, you can publish finalized designs from Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD and Photoshop. Developers get a 'locked' design to build from, while designers can iterate on the next great release. Zeplin is the source of truth for finalized designs, if it’s not in Zeplin it won’t be in the shipped product.

Zeppelin And Adobe Xd Update
Select any layer/artboard in your XD.
Select “File > Export > Zeplin”.
The shortcut for the last used export option is ⌥⌘E. So, next time you want to export designs to Zeplin, simply select the artboards and press Option, Command, E.

This will take you to Zeplin where you can select the project you want to publish the artboards into. Designs are now live on Zeplin, along with all the specs, assets, and code snippets that developers can make use of.
Troubleshooting Export Issues

Seeing File Location
Zeplin shows the file location on the right panel of the screen if you're the user who exported that screen and you're using the same machine that you used to export. You can directly open the design file in XD by clicking on the file name.
Zeplin Vs Adobe Xd
☝️ It's sadly not possible to import XD files directly into Zeplin just yet. You can only export your designs from the Export menu of Adobe XD.
