Design system

Your organization can keep one DESIGN.md: a file with your brand's colors, fonts, spacing and rules. Every bot follows it when it makes something people will look at, so you don't have to restyle each page or document yourself.

Where bots use it

Before a bot makes a page, document, presentation, chart, image or email, it reads your DESIGN.md and follows it. To get something in another style, just ask for it in the chat.

Who can change it

Owners and admins open Settings → Design on web, the desktop app or mobile. On your own account, that's you. On a team, members don't see Design and bots won't save a design system for them, but their bots still follow it.

Create one

In Settings → Design, choose:

• Create with a bot: enter your Website and pick a bot under Choose a bot. Its chat opens with a request already written. Attach brand guidelines, documents or presentations there too, then send it. The bot reads your site and files, shows you a summary, and saves it once you approve.
• Upload DESIGN.md: pick a file you already have.
• Write: start from a template and fill it in. On web and the desktop app only.

You can also just ask a bot in its chat, for example "make our design system from our website". The bot can save it only in a chat you started, not from a routine or a chat app.

Change it

Once saved, Settings → Design shows its name, color swatches and fonts.

• Update with a bot opens a bot's chat with a request to update it. The bot shows what it would change and asks before it saves.
• Edit changes the text directly, on web and the desktop app.
• In the More menu (...): Upload DESIGN.md replaces it, Download saves a copy and Remove deletes it. On mobile, Upload DESIGN.md and Remove are on the screen.

Each save is checked first. If something is wrong, such as a color that isn't valid, you see This DESIGN.md has problems: with a list of what to fix, and nothing is saved. On web and the desktop app, a rejected upload opens in the editor so you can fix it there.

A bot always asks before it saves a design system, whatever your approval mode, and the card offers only Allow once or Deny.
