You can choose which design systems are enabled in your documentation in your Dataset settings. This is particularly useful if your company is composed of multiple datasets and design systems.

This setting is applied to each individual design system, not your workspace, so to use it in multiple design systems in your workspace, you’ll need to enable it in each design system individually.

To enable multiple datasets:
  1. Beside Enable multiple datasets, toggle the switch to Yes.
  2. In the dropdown, select the design systems from your workspace that you want included.
  3. Publish your documentation to apply this setting.
  4. Simply toggle the switch to No to disable it.
