Why would I use the Data Populator?

Working with real data during the design process instead of using Lorem Ipsum is a good way to go to get measures right and a better feel for the actual proportions and content. It can however be time consuming to enter all the content manually which is why Lorem Ipsum is still used a lot. With the Data Populator plugin using real data in XD becomes as easy as using lorem ipsum.

Our Evaluation:

The Data Populator is a great asset for your XD workfow. It is probably a bit complex for beginners but professional users will most likely rely heavily on this helper, especially in larger projects with several iterations. But it is also a huge time saver when creating mockups and experimenting with variations. Having real data at your fingertips plays well with the general speed and flexibility that you find in Adobe XD.
