Hello! 👋

You can find many design system articles that emphasize meaning of the good documentation. I’m interested about how people handle this stuff. More specific I would like to know how you set up all the specific guidelines, like examples about how components are shown in UI.

It seems that many public design systems has not this specific stuff. Doesn’t they need that specific information? At least someone seems to need. I found only one example from ABB’s design system. They have collected lots of examples to Figma. I would like to see/hear more examples how companies document this kind of information.

Hi Roberto!

At my company, we have a similar approach as you showed.

We have one file with definitions of components, directions about where and how to apply them, and best practices. This same file is the source from where updates in the design system are released.
