Question

Copy text styles from design system library

I am currently creating a design system with some components and text styles for use in different projects.

I created some text styles (xxl, xl etc.) and was wondering if its possible to import these styles into a new file but make changes (change font) without changing the “master” definition.
These changes would have to apply to components containing these text styles.

The only way i see currently is creating a design system file, which is going to be duplicated every project start, and ditch the whole library.

      I made it work, what you can do is Cut Style from the source File. Then Open your new file and right click (two-finger click) where the Local Styles are, and click Paste Styles.

      And finally you can come back to the source File and do the same, right click and Paste Styles; they will be in your clipboard to be pasted multiple times in different files.

        You can also just select every style with holding shift and selecting to cut/paste all styles.
