Sympli, a suite of design collaboration and handoff tools, unveiled support for design systems in Sympli Handoff. With design systems, it’s possible to add information about design tokens – colors, text styles, fonts, spaces, and sizes that designers hand over to developers – into Sympli Handoff so that developer and design teams can save time, scale their design decisions, and communicate better.
