Publish and synchronize a color palette

Learn how to publish and synchronize a color palette for seamless integration across design tools supported by UI Color Palette, and to hunt shared palettes.

Publish palettes

If the palette is yours, you can:

• Publish: It makes it enter a lifecycle. If an update is detected, you can publish a new version

• Unpublish: Remove it from the remote to make it local. The other instances will lose the link with the master and must be detached to remove the remote flag

• Revert: Roll it back to the Master

• Synchronize: Update it from the last version on the remote

• Detach: Remove the link with the Master and make it local

• Share with community: The palette can be added by other members of UI Color Palette

Synchronize palettes

• Detach: Remove the link with the Master and make it local

Reuse your palettes

You can go to Library then My palettes. This list gathers all the live palettes you have published. From this list, you can:

• Unpublish: Remove the Master palette from the remote. This action is irreversible

• Share with the community or Remove from the community: You allow other users to add your palette to their files

• Add to file: A palette instance is pushed to the document. It can be updated and republished later

• Search palettes…: Quickly go to a palette that is precisely known

You can use a UI color palette across Figma, Penpot, and Sketch. Palettes created in Figma are compatible with Penpot, and those made in Penpot can be used in Sketch.
