I also have the ability to decide whether or not the people that I share this library with can simply view or consume the library, or actually edit and make changes to the source. I can give them a friendly note to let them know what it's in reference to. For that, I'll just come in and type in their Adobe ID. Now, when this publishing is complete, I can come in and start to select who it is I want to share the content with.

And XD is going to begin uploading that content and extracting it to a library. I'll go ahead and leave it with the default for now, and click on the Save button. And from here, I can give a new name to this cloud document and library, maybe something that's more intuitive for my team. XD informs me that it's going to create a cloud document. To go ahead and push this out as a library onto its own, I'll come here on the right-hand side and click on the Publish button. I can always toggle them on or off based on the project I'm about to work on, and what I might need access to. Below that, I can see any library I might have created in the past, or that might have been created by someone else and then shared with me. This is what I'm going to publish up as a library.

In the library's manager, XD tells me the current file name. When I'm ready to publish the design system, all I need to do is come here to the upper right-hand corner of the application and click on the Publish button. Because I can place each of the components and colors directly on the design canvas, it makes it really easy for me, as a designer, to build out a complete system of elements that look really good in relationship to one another. When I come and open up the Libraries panel by clicking on the icon here in the lower left-hand corner of the application, you can see I've come in and created a number of colors, character styles, and components that I want to be part of this library. I'm working on a brand kit here in the app that I want to share out with my team. Libraries in Adobe XD empower you to build, manage, and distribute design and brand systemsВ - all directly within the XD application.
