Styles allow you to save fill colors, text properties, and effects as reusable assets. When you update a style, every layer using that style updates automatically.
Where to Find It
In the Design panel, next to any color, text, or effect property, click the four-dot grid icon to save or apply a style.
How to Use
- Create color style: Set a fill color, click the style icon (four dots), then click Create Style.
- Create text style: Select a text layer, set font properties, then click Create Style in the Text section.
- Apply: Click the style icon on any layer and select a saved style from the panel.
- Manage: Open the Assets panel in the left sidebar to view, rename, and organize all styles.
Pro Tips
- Name styles with a consistent naming convention like 'Primary/Blue-500' for easy organization.
- Publish styles to your team library so all designers share the same colors and type scale.
