Create, edit and delete design tokens
Nic Allen
You can manage your tokens in zeroheight with Token Manager. The extent to which you can manage your tokens will depend partly on how they are created or imported.
Any changes you make to your token set in zeroheight will be automatically saved in zeroheight however your styleguides or links with external systems will not be updated until you publish your changes
Add and edit tokens
In addition to importing tokens from an external source, you can also create new tokens directly in zeroheight.
- In your file, select +Add Tokens
- Enter the token name and value and select Create token
- You have a new token that you can add to your styleguide and your token file.
Deleting tokens
To delete a token, hover over a token name and select the three dots menu and select ‘delete’
Publishing changes
After making changes you must publish these changes for them to take effect in both your documentation and in any exports.
If the source of your tokens is a synced GitHub repo, when you publish your changes you’ll have the option to create a pull request in GitHub to update the file there. This is an optional step, you do not need to create a pull request every time you publish changes in zeroheight.
FAQs
What if I delete my token set?
Your tokens will still be in your styleguide even if you delete your token set from the Tokens tab; however, the link to your token set in GitHub is disconnected. If you want to update your tokens in your styleguide, you must delete them and reinsert them.
