Sync between variables / style and token set / tokens

[ndupasquier]

Hello
I'm using the v 3.0.1 UI KIT, problem is that when i export styles and variables from token studio to figma to update my variables, it creats new collection of variables instead of updating existing one. Here are my figma variables before, and after you can see that all collections and variable has been recreated instead of update existing one
The expected behavior is that the tokens inside each token set update the existing variable inside the "Aura" collection of figma.

Before i export the variables

After i export the variables, new collections appear instead of updating existing variables

Can you explain how to update existing variables from token studio and vice versa ? update token studio from figma variables ?

Hello, Some other users reported the same issue lately, so I recorded a screen capture as an experiment. I recommend following the steps shown in the video. You need to use Tokens Studio as the primary token control tool. There isn't a method to update from Figma Variables to Tokens Studio.

PS: You need to be sure the Themes tab is selected while exporting, even if you're using the free version of Tokens Studio.
