Hi community,

 

I am seeking help on how to manage a Library for a design system that is getting ready to be published and used in other files.

 

In the design system file have created a components, styles and variables. In this DS file I created a component with variants. The different variants use different text styles. With the text styles some of the typography parameters have variables applied to them for storing values that are in a variables collection. The component also has some color variables being used on it. I've used plugins like Design Lint and Find Missing Variables to double check if the component has all parameters defined by styles and variables.

As a test I published the component, some styles and variables it uses as well as some other variables and styles. I then went to another file, added the published DS library, inserted the published component from the DS lib as well as applied some of the published variables and styles to some other components of the second file.

I then went to the original DS file with all the original styles, variables and component. I went to check the Library analytics and the table with all the values for total instances and inserts are zeroed. The only analytics table that has gotten updated correctly is the table that displays total instances and inserts for the published component.

Is there an issue with how styles and variables are being tallied for the analytics that filter for them?

Thank you for the help.

EDIT: After a few days the Library Analytics table has updated and displays values in the table filtered for styles and for variables.

 

Now I would like to know if there is a way to show or navigate to the instances and inserts that are tallied on the analytics tables. Is this possible? If not are there any plugins or tools developed in the community for finding and pinpointing where variables and styles are used in other files?

 

Thank you for any help.
