Since our Design Systems launch, we have been working on a few major and many minor product improvements. Below you can see what our team achieved over the last six weeks.
Design Systems
- Additional ways of presenting colors and assets in Design Systems
- All assets can now be downloaded at once
- Design System documentation is presented on separate pages instead of one. You can check how it works in the UXPin app
- Additional styling options in Design Systems documentation
- (Performance) Optimizing thumbnail size for Sketch imports
- (Performance) Loading time improvements for Design Systems with many assets
Design Libraries
- Ability to move items between categories in Design System Libraries with Drag&Drop
- Ability to show and hide Design System Libraries using shortcuts (cmd+L for Mac and ctrl+L for Windows)
- Design System Libraries panel in Sketch remembers its last position and size, even on different resolutions
- New Libraries are visible by default
- Color picker shows colors from the last opened Design System Library
Symbols
- Ability to apply/clear single overrides for symbols. Now, when you have multiple overrides in a symbol, you can select overridden element inside the symbol and choose the desired action
- Cloning symbols (basically it’s duplicating and detaching at the same time)
- Detach button is inactive when the symbol was already detached
- Improved way of resizing nested groups and symbols
- Enhanced flow for deleting symbols: local properties of a symbol are cleared after deleting the last instance of the symbol from the canvas. Once you drag the symbol from the Design System Libraries again, it’ll have its original form.
Preview
- Page scrolling is now running at 60fps (unfortunately, due to browsers technical limitations, at the moment it’s not available for pages containing sticky position elements, with zoom set at 100%)
- Removed memory leaks when changing pages
