Design libraries

Working together

Design libraries are a collection of typography themes, color palettes and design assets you can reuse on any site in the same account. They’re a great tool for designers and teams to organize brandbooks, set design guidelines and reuse assets. Create and share design libraries with your teammates to streamline workflow and drive collaboration.

Creating a design library

Control how images resize as the viewport width changes. Choose Fixed to keep an image at a set pixel size no matter what device it’s viewed on. Set an image to Fluid to allow its width to adjust in relation to the viewport.

Alternatively check the Scale proportionally checkbox. This allows your image to resize seamlessly with the viewport, keeping a balanced ratio between height and width.

Creating a design library

Theme manager

Choose which part of an image you want to stay visible as the screen size changes. First select the image, then from the floating action bar click the Focal Point icon.

Next, drag the blue dot to the spot you want to focus on—or simply click the spot you want. You can select a different spot at each breakpoint.

Customizing typography

At each breakpoint, you can zoom in on a specific area of an image and choose how it’s cropped. Select the image and make sure it’s set to Fixed or Scale proportionally.

Next, from the floating action bar click the Crop icon. Drag the edges of the image to crop and use the slider to zoom in and out.

Saving color themes

Define the exact position of your images at each breakpoint. Select an image and open the Inspector panel to control its alignment, docking and margins.

Under Scroll, you can also set an image to be Pinned or Sticky position. Fixed position pins it to the screen, so it stays put during scroll. Sticky position lets you control when the image stays put and when it continues to scroll with the page.

Note: Setting an image to Pinned position changes the hierarchy of your site, so this actions affects all breakpoints.

Sharing the library in Editor X Design Library

Transcript

Let’s explore how to create, manage and share Design Libraries on Editor X.

Libraries are a collection of typography, color themes and designed assets that can be saved and reused across multiple sites. They’re a great tool for boosting velocity and maintaining brand consistency.

Teams can access, share and reuse libraries across sites under the same account to streamline collaboration.

Before we dive in, let’s take a look at the site’s Theme Manager. This is where you can view and edit the typography and color themes of your site, and then add them to your library. Under Typography, you can fully customize the headings and paragraphs on your site.

Under Colors you’ll find the color theme panel. Your palette is built from a default combination of 25 shades that you can customize and apply to your site. Any changes you make to the theme will apply to matching elements on your site.

These typography and color themes can be added to libraries alongside designed site assets. You’ll find design libraries under Tools. Let’s get started.

From here, you can create a new design library, or access your saved ones.

Let’s create a new one. You can choose to import themes and assets from the current site, or uncheck the boxes and start from scratch.

We’ll name our new library here and start customizing.

Let’s head over to the Theme Manager to start editing the typography.

Use the pencil icon to customize your text. You can choose a font, or upload your own, set the text size, and edit the style. Once you click Apply Theme, these style changes will apply to matching text elements across your site.

Select Design Libraries at the top of your theme manager to save your typography theme to an existing Library, or create a new one. We’ll save it to Sauber.

Now let’s set our site colors from the color theme panel. Use this pencil icon to choose a custom color, and adjust the brightness and saturation for each shade.

Once you’ve added the rest of your color themes, select Design Libraries to save the colors to your library.

Alright, now let’s add design assets to our library. You can save entire sections to your library for reuse. Use the breadcrumbs to grab the section you want to add, select the 3 dots and choose Save as Design Asset.

Rename your asset to stay organized. From the dropdown, save it locally under My Assets, or select the design library you want to add it to.

View your saved assets from the Add Panel, under Design Assets.

Select a design library, and use the 3 dots to rename an asset, save it to a new library, or delete it. You can save your local assets to an existing library too.

Let’s head back to Design Libraries to see our new library. From here you can open the library, duplicate, or delete it.

You can now see the site themes and assets we’ve recently added.

Select the 3 dots to delete an entire theme from your library. Deleting a theme will remove it from your library, but will continue to show everywhere it’s in use on your site.

Now that the library is set, you can share it with your team using this toggle. Your teammates can access and reuse the shared library on any site in this account.

Note: this toggle will only appear once you’ve set up a Team Account.

To do so, join the Partner Program. To manage your team once you’re set up, select Site from the toolbar to access your Dashboardd, go to your Partner Dashboard, and select Settings.

Here, you can invite people to join your team, and assign roles and set permissions. Teammates with permission to Manage Design Libraries can add, edit and delete any shared library.

Your team can now access and apply shared Design Libraries to any site under the same account.

Let’s see how it’s done. We’ll create a new site starting with a blank canvas. From the Add panel, under Design Assets, you can access the assets we previously saved to our Sauber Design Library.

From the Theme Manager, select Design Libraries at the top to apply themes from our Sauber library.

Editor X is an advanced creation platform. To master it, continue watching this series of video tutorials.
