Synchronizing design tokens from the Widget

If you collected your design tokens or assets from Figma using our widget, you can update them by clicking Sync on the source you want to synchronize in the widget.

This will automatically update your design tokens or assets in Specify and trigger a synchronization of your destination if you are using GitHub.


Synchronizing design tokens from a JSON source

If you collected your design tokens or assets from Tokens Studio or another JSON, you can update them by going to your repository in Specify and to the Sources page.


There you'll see all your sources. Click on the 3 dots icon on the top-right of your source and select Sync.

This will automatically update your design tokens or assets in Specify and trigger a synchronization of your destination if you are using GitHub.

Automatic synchronization between Specify and Destinations

There are two moments when a GitHub destination will be automatically synced:

  • When you manually sync a source, it will generate a new Pull Request if there are any changes.

  • When you update your Specify config file (.specifyrc.json) in your GitHub repository, Specify will automatically generate a new Pull Request if necessary.

    For instance, if you update your config file to add another type of design data (e.g., vectors) in your project, Specify will create a Pull Request containing your vectors coming from Specify.


    ℹ️ Please make sure you're on the main branch when updating your Specify config file (.specifyrc.json). Otherwise, Specify won't detect the change.
