Make your components visible within designs, promoting reusability. Access a summary of your component with:

Documentation
Bite-sized code snippet describing how to initialize it
Links to Storybook, GitHub and so on

Help your team get familiar with your design system

Familiarizing yourself with an evolving design system usually happens over time. Help your team naturally discover and learn more about your components, as they’re viewing designs.

Onboard new engineers to your UI components

Your design system is constantly evolving, so are the UI components in your codebase. Onboard new engineers to your codebase as they’re working on designs, making sure that they have quick access to up-to-date documentation.

With Connected Components, our team can now explore mockups with so much more information, enabling them to better scope out estimates for development and reduce rewriting something that’s already built.

Dig out the more hidden gems on Zeplin

Exporting artboards from a Sketch design to Zeplin is quite straightforward. 🚀 To be able to export designs, you need to download the desktop app.

Select any layer/artboard in your Sketch file.
Press ⌃⌘E or use the menu up top “Plugins > Zeplin > Export Selected…” to start export process.

☝️ It's sadly not possible to import Sketch files directly into Zeplin since Zeplin works with a plugin. If you don’t see the plugin in the Sketch menu, you can install it here.

Zeplin App

Zeplin shows the file location on the right panel of the screen if you're the user who exported that screen and you're using the same machine that you used to export. You can directly open the design file in Sketch by clicking on the file name.
