Token blocks

Display design tokens in your documentation.

If you have themes added to your design system, you can display them in your token blocks. You can switch between themes to show different tokens, and choose between override or split view for your published documentation.

You can display theme tokens in any type of token block — detail, list or group.

Split view

Theme token - Split view

Split view displays theme tokens side by side with the base tokens in your design system.

Split view is automatically enabled when you select a theme. You can switch it off using the Split view button in the Theme dropdown from the token block’s menu bar.

Override

Theme token - Override

If you switch off Split view, then the Override view is enabled in its place.

Override displays the theme values in place of the base values of the tokens in your published documentation. Any base tokens that haven’t been assigned a theme value will continue displaying their base values.
