Save your text styles, layer styles, and color palette in a Google Sheet to keep your design team in sync. Every time you run this plugin your styles and colors will be replaced with those you specify in a spreadsheet. This should make it easier to share typography styles across teams!
Install from Sketch Toolbox (recommended) or download the zip, unzip, and open sync.sketchplugin.
-
Create a Google Sheet from this template (click the "Use this template" button).
-
Select File > Publish to web… and then click the Publish button.
-
Copy the link to your sheet. (See below if you are using Google Apps at work)
-
Run the Sync command from the plugin menu and paste your URL into the prompt.
Your text styles, layer styles, and color palette should now be synced with your spreadsheet. Run the plugin again any time to update. Share your published sheet URL with your team to stay in sync.
Some companies prevent employees from publishing sheets. If the Published content & settings drill-down in the Publish to the web modal says that people at your company must log in to view, then Sync will not be able to access your sheet. Don't worry – you can still use Sync for typography. Just visit Sheetsu to generate an API for your new sheet. Use your new Sheetsu URL and continue to step 4.

As an alternative to Google Sheets, you can create a custom JSON api with the following structure. Currently this method only supports typography.
