Microsoft Teams gets collaboration boost from Adobe XD
Microsoft Teams is making life a little easier for product designers.
Microsoft and Adobe have already worked together on a number of integrations across their services, but the latest aims to make life a little easier for designers working across Adobe XD and Microsoft Teams. Microsoft announced today a new integration between both services, allowing users to more quickly share and comment on designs with a rich experience within Teams.
Designers can now share a preview link generated by Adobe XD in Teams to quickly present coworkers with a summary of the design, along with a thumbnail preview of the prototype or design spec. Once a design is shared, you'll also get notifications when your coworkers make comments, allowing you to stay up-to-speed with feedback.
With the integration, Microsoft says it is looking to supplant the typical method for sharing design docs and prototypes: email.
This comes in addition to the general Creative Cloud integration Microsoft rolled out last year, which opens up quick access to libraries and assets from within Teams.
To test out the integration for yourself, you can pick up the latest Creative Cloud for Microsoft Teams release at Microsoft.
