XD is going to go ahead and open up the cloud version of that XD document. And in the right menu, I'll select edit master in source document. To do that, I'll come on in and click on an instance of this component. I'll go ahead and duplicate it onto a second artboard as I'm working.Д«ecause this is a design system and, these are linked assets, I can come in and edit the source in the cloud document that was created. I'll just come in and drag a few of them onto the design canvas. Now as I work I can start to interact with these components. So notice if I scroll up I've got some character styles that are linked as well as individual components here. It's going to automatically save that Hoffman UI kit as a cloud document and then link all of of the colors, character styles and components in that cloud document to my working design here. XD at this point is going to convert the source sketch content, I can see the conversion here in the lower left-hand corner of the application. When I click that link, I then can navigate to where I have the sketch file, I'll go ahead and click on it and then click select. This dialogue in addition to cloud documents in those that have been shared with me, I can now convert a sketch library. To do that, I'm going to come here to the assets panel and I'm going to click on the link to assets button. I'll begin by switching back over to XD and here within the XD application I have a working document that I'd like to use those Hoffman UI elements for. For this, we have a terrific new streamlined workflow. I can always convert this sketch file to a native XD document but I really want to take advantage of the linked assets feature and use the Hoffman UI kit as a source for my design system. It's a nice kit that has style guides for fonts and colors, there are templates for specific layouts, there's also a page of symbols and then symbols that are laid out for multiple artboards. I'm here in Sketch and I have the Hoffman UI kit open. Not only are symbols and sketch converted to XD components, but you now have the choice of onboarding them into XD as linked assets. If you're a fan of moving sketch content into Adobe XD, your world just got an awful lot better.
