2.2 Text and Layer Styles
This lesson is all about Text and Layer Styles, two key components that help keep your designs consistent. After this lesson, you’ll be able to incorporate them in your projects.
Key learnings
With Text and Layer Styles you can store and reuse styles across different shape and text layers within your designs.
Every time you update a Layer or Text Style, it will update every layer that uses it.
You can create and edit your Layer and Text Styles in the Components view.
