Adobe XD Companion App Debuts Real-Time Stakeholder Review and Live Cursor Tracking

Design · 3 min read

The Companion app streams prototype sessions in low-latency mode, showing reviewers live cursors and touch interactions to capture real-time feedback. Reviewers can leave contextual comments anchored to screens and elements, which appear as actionable tasks in the designer's workspace.

Sessions can be exported with interaction timelines, heatmaps, and comment threads to support asynchronous reviews and QA. Adobe included permissions and redaction tools to control participant visibility and protect user-sensitive content during public demos.

Teams running frequent stakeholder reviews or user tests can use the Companion app to centralize feedback and reduce interpretation gaps. Adobe emphasized integration with project management tools to turn review notes into tracked work items.
