3.1 Creating and sharing Libraries
Explore the power behind Libraries and how they can help you stay consistent across documents. After this lesson, you’ll know how to create Libraries that you can update and reuse time and again.
Key learnings
Libraries are Sketch documents with components that you can share across all of your other documents. Install Apple’s iOS UI Library to have common UI components at hand — always up to date.
When you make changes to components in a Library, documents that use them will get a notification to update them
You can create and add Libraries from the Mac or web app, and you can manage your Libraries in the Mac app’s settings.
