Hello, Christopher. My name is Leonardo and I'm from Brazil. I'm learning to use Sketch and your video was very important in my learning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hello Christopher - in reading your response to Gerard, you've referenced the ability to 'lock down' styles. I've been struggling to do exactly that in my own design library which I'm managing via Teams. It seems that if a user is a Contributor, they will always have editing rights to a library file. I simply don't see a way to fine-tune permissions for contributors. What am I missing?
Hi Bryan! Have you tried going to the settings of the file and unchecking "Download"? You can always set the governance of your team, explicitly telling them they can't edit the libraries. S4T might have this project or file level rights management in the future but not right now.
@@ChristopherDeane - I havn't dried the unchecking 'Download', but it seems logic now that I think about it more. I do think Sketch should provide a more detailed permissions for libraries, so I'll put that request in to them directly (although I'm sure I'm not the first by far). Thanks for the reply.
Due to unnecessary and awful "features" like this I decided to switch to Figma. Not to mention the constant bugs and crashes... For big projects with complex design systems Sketch is faaaaar behind Figma. Example: same style guide... Sketch=190 text styles (one for each color and align), Figma=15 Text styles
Good to see you've committed to a platform Gerard. Figma would have to work 100% offline before I would consider using it for production work and I actually like that in Sketch I can lock down styles in a design system instead of giving the designers in my team the power to turn text or other elements into any colour they want = risking fragmentation through Frankenstein elements creeping into our designs. FYI: My design system has a Figma version (because I want to help designers whether they use Sketch, Figma or Webflow), you can grab it here: dezin.webflow.io
Hey man, thanks so much for your tutorials, we have implemented quite a bit of it at work. I have a question around nested buttons. I have a component, that contains a button. The button contains text that has a layer style applied. When it comes to the overrides, I'm able to change the "content of the button" and the layer style of the text but not the text colour. I assume this is a known issue but was wondering if you knew of a work around. imgur.com/a/g8filAm
Hi Kurt. You'll need a separate light text style to be able to swap out the colour of the text (just like the style that overrides the button colour) That might change in the future if Sketch separates colour from text style but for now, that's how you do it. Hope this helps 🙂.
