If you haven’t used macOS’s screen sharing, it’s quite simple: When logged in, two overlapping rectangles in the system bar appear, and reveal information (right). (Big Sur offers more visible and obvious signs of remote screen sharing, as one of the subtle security improvements Apple added.) IDGīig Sur tells you on the login screen if there’s an active remote session (left).

With Big Sur, I recently noticed that when I was unable to connect from one machine, the one that wouldn’t share stated it was being controlled by my other Mac already. I have two Macs in my house on the same network-one a laptop, one a desktop-and it’s often the case that the two can see each other and mount each other’s drives, yet can’t initiate screen sharing. At any point I can rename links and use the checkboxes to control what UI is being shown when someone visits the link.It’s a sad thing that after so many years of offering screen sharing as a native feature in OS X and then macOS, the remote-access service remains unreliable. Then, I simply click "update link" and it updates the link (because my first step was creating or selecting a link).

Then you can OPTIONALLY pick a home artboard to share with THAT specific link and you can simply click it again to remove the home artboard (it can default to the first one in the series if left unset).

There should be a "select all" button because sometimes people design a lot of screens. You get to create a link and select ANY artboards you want to share with that link regardless of what's going on in the prototype tab (it can select the prototyped ones by default if there are any and select all of the artboards by default if there are no prototyped artboards). Here's how I would expect the share functionality to work: It's absolutely maddening and makes me want to switch to Figma so please fix this terrible functionality as soon as possible! I should not be required to prototype 50+ artboards just to share them with a client. So basically I'd recommend making the LINK higher up in the hierarchy and let the user make some much more intuitive decisions for that specific link when it comes to which artboards to share. At any point I can rename links and use the nice little checkboxes to control what UI is being shown when someone visits the link. Then, I simply click "update link" and it updates the currently selected link (because my first step was selecting or creating a link). There should be a "select/deselect all" button because sometimes people design a lot of screens. You get to create a link and select ANY artboards you want to share with that link regardless of what's going on in the prototype tab (it can select the prototyped ones by default if there are any and select ALL of the artboards by default if there are no prototyped artboards). Here's how I would expect the share functionality to work (in case anyone at Adobe is taking this seriously and because the current behavior is absolutely senseless): While I cannot comment on the exact timeframe by when it would be added, but note that we are actively looking into enabling this use case. Now coming to the specific use case that has been highlighted in this thread (ability to publish all artboards irrespective of whether they are wired or not) - I can totally understand why that is an important scenario and I agree to it.

All other screens get greyed out to give you that feedback. Since it was not always obvious (as there was no visual feedback) for you to identify which screens are going to be published when you create a link - we added that capability in Share mode where-in now you can see the screens getting published (based on existing scases) highlighted.

This behavior is not new and has not changed in recent release as well. Sequence would be left to right and top to bottom. Case 1 - If you have a Home artboard set/defined in canvas, then only the artbaords that are linked/wired to that home artboard is published in the link.Ĭase 2 - If you do not have any Home artboard set, then all artboards present in your document will get published in the link.
