The Design library holds the reusable pieces of your visual work: components you place on frames, pages you build from them, and tokens — colours, spacing, type — that keep everything consistent. It lives in the Library drawer of a canvas in the Design desktop app and belongs to your signed-in account.

​
Add an item

1

Open a canvas in the Design desktop app

See Design desktop.
2

Create a component, page, or token

From the Library drawer.
3

Add a thumbnail when you have one

Thumbnails are uploaded. Nothing on this site rasterises them for you.

​
What each kind of item is for

Tokens are the reason two frames can look like one product: change the value once and the components that reference it follow. They are values you maintain, not a theme the app picks for you.

​
Two libraries

Same word, different objects. Items in one do not appear in the other.

​
Who can use it

Library items are member objects, like the canvases they sit on: a guest cannot create one, and another account’s items are never listed. See Accounts. The drawer is on the desktop only. The web app lists canvases but has no Library drawer and no /design route — see Design desktop.
