What is a Shared Library?

Shared Libraries

There are 2 types of Shared Libraries from Abstract's perspective

  1. Per-project Libraries
  • Ideal for storing Symbols you want to use across multiple files in the same project. Works well if your team works on unrelated projects.
  1. Linked Libraries
  • Want to use Symbols across more than one Project? Linked Libraries are the way to go. Single source of truth across your entire team. Perfect for your design system.
