Organization and Consistency in Sketch: Organization and Consistency

While we’ve already covered basic organization, a deeper understanding of how to structure your files in Sketch, and how to take advantage of that structure, will help you to create consistent designs as efficiently as possible. The skills you learn in this chapter will let you make changes to your entire document with a single action, saving you time and keeping your design uniform. We’ll kick off the chapter by learning how to use layer styles, which will let you update an attribute (like color) on all similar layers when you update one. We’ll then learn about text styles, which let you manipulate text in a similar way. Then, we’ll go over symbols, which are very useful when you need to have several instances of the same elements in multiple places in your design (like a footer on every page of a website). After that, we’ll share our recommended naming conventions, and we’ll explain how using the layout and grid features will keep your designs precise.
