Shared TextStyles in Sketch

6 years ago from zulal ahmad, Freelance Designer

Hi Sketch Gurus,

The launch of Sketch 47 has really changed the way we designers work. I'm really happy about that now there's no fear of duplication of symbols when working on a larger scale project, but I'm wondering if it's possible with the TextStyles?

TextStyles are as important as Symbols, but I don't seem to be able to use them universally.

How do you deal with it? Is there any hack to use TextStyle universally?

Shared Text Styles and Library Styles Sync allows you to import/export your document's text styles.
Select Textlayers without shared textstyles lets you look for text objects without styles. Nifty when you want to look for text objects that are not using your current type system.

Hi, Zulal,
There are few plugins that help organising shared styles.
Library Style Sync helps to import styles from the lib: https://github.com/zeroheight/library-styles-sync
Fix styles remove style duplicates: https://github.com/dinozavrix/sketch_fix_styles

I had the same problem when building our library. For now I've created symbols from the text styles and use the overrides to change the content. I used this work-around for overriding the colors https://blog.prototypr.io/sketch-overriding-the-color-of-text-layers-in-symbols-69d54577158b. The only issue is that you can't change the font-weight
