How to Share Specs
Once your design is finished and you’ve specified Layout properties, it is time to share Specs with developers.
Step 1: Sync Design to Anima Project
Click Preview in Browser
Select the Project/Team you would like to Sync it to if you haven't already.
When the Preview opens, click Sync to Project in the top right corner.
Step 2: Invite to Project
Click Share in the top right corner of the screen
Assign your team if not already assigned
Optional: Invite guests who are not team members to view
Tip:
If developers do not need to edit designs, add them as Viewers, it’s free!
Step 3: See Specs
Once the design is synced to the project, click on the screen you want to see the Specs
Select the third icon (Specs) from the navigation bar
What Developer Can Inspect in Specs
Now let’s take a look at how a Sketch design with Anima Layout features look in the Specs inspector.
This screenshot shows that in Sketch, in the selected 'MenuButton' layer, the Top and Right Pins are selected.
This screenshot of the Specs in the browser, shows that selecting the same “MenuButton” layer in the browser, reveals the Layout specs as well.
It also shows that the selected “MenuButton” layer is pinned to Top and Right by 20px.
It Works With Stacks as Well
