Question 1

How does Avocode prepare layers for design hand-off?

Accepted Answer

Avocode Inspect offers your dev team a unified way to access and inspect design layers of Sketch, Photoshop, Adobe XD, Illustrator, or Figma files - on any operating system. When you update the design in Avocode, your developers will be notified. Designers don’t have to prepare any layers for export - all layers are automatically exportable as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or WebP in any resolution. Plus, developers can measure sizes and distances and export layer styles in CSS, Swift, Android, React Native, and six other code languages.

Question 2

How many people can I collaborate with on a design file in Avocode?

Accepted Answer

You can collaborate with an unlimited number of people on the same design file with the Avocode Team plan. When it comes to Sketch, make sure that before you start editing the Sketch design file, it’s already synced into Avocode. Then click on Edit in Sketch. When you’re done editing the file, sync the changes back to Avocode.

Question 3

What if I want to sync/hand-off just a few screens and not the whole file?

Accepted Answer

It’s possible for Sketch, Adobe XD, and Figma designs. Just select particular artboards while holding the SHIFT key, then go to: • Sketch - Make sure you have our desktop app open. In Sketch, go to Plugins/Avocode/Hand-off/Sync Selected Artboards
          • Adobe XD - Make sure you have our desktop app open. In Adobe XD, go to Plugins/Avocode and hit Sync to Avocode
          • Figma - Make sure you’re logged into the correct Avocode team in your browser, and you have our Figma integration installed. In Figma, go to Menu/Plugins/Avocode/Avocode and hit Export. If there is an existing file in Avocode with artboards A, B, C and you sync artboards D, E, F, from a new or the same file, Avocode will merge these files together and create a new file with artboards A, B, C, D, E, F. If you want to sync changes to the existing artboards A,B, or C - make sure to include them in the selective sync.

Question 4

What are the system requirements for design file import?

Accepted Answer

Avocode allows direct file (Sketch, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator) upload of whole files as new versions on macOS, Windows, Linux, and even in the browser. If you need to have control over particular artboard changes, you need to use our Sketch plugin (macOS only), Adobe XD plugin (macOS and Windows), or our Figma integration. Sketch & Adobe XD plugins are auto-installed with the Avocode desktop app.

Question 5

How many design versions can I keep in Avocode?

Accepted Answer

Avocode keeps an unlimited version history of all your versions. Depending on your subscription, you can access a certain amount of the latest versions. The Team plan subscription plan enables you to access all versions in your history without limits. Learn more about our pricing.
