Yeah I get the cloud sharing stuff is the way this is going. For the scenario, generally yes - was looking to just embed/place something, update it elsewhere and have the changes reflected within XD. I'll explore the update with the components though and work something out - thanks!
Justin, if you decide to work with a local document, you can copy paste components between documents. When you make changes to the source document, the consuming document will notify you about available updates.
The only difference in functionality while using components from a local and cloud doc is how you access them. If the source document is a cloud doc then you can easily add it to any/new doc via the Assets Panel. If the source document is local, then you need to manually copy paste your components from it.

Thanks for explaining! I'll try that out :)

Have feedback?
Thanks, Justin. We leverage the cloud for our whole sharing model and don't expect that to change now. In your scenario, would you be editing a design system/component library in one file, saving locally, and then hoping to see those changes in another local document?
