Updating elements by editing swatch

[woellij]

Hi everybody,

 

i was wondering, whether it was possible to reflect the changes to a swatch in the elements that are using it.

I'm trying to sketch an app interface to see how some colors play together and having reused the same swatch on multiple elements i would like to adjust the color on all elements through the swatch.

I don't think it's a very uncommon scenario - after all apps often have around 5-6 main colors (accent and background) and in the design phase those colors are subject to change.

 

(Editing styles is not possible as well i think - but please correct me if i'm wrong there)

Thanks for your reply.


P.S.: In case this isn't possible in Affinity Designer - does anybody know a tool where this is possible?

You may also find it beneficial to have a play with the symbols tab too which creates objects that are sync'd so updates are reflects across the document. You can find it under the studio section of the view menu
