Hello!

It doesn’t seem to be possible to share libraries across teams. Currently, I work independently and have a multi-pronged project. It was getting chaotic to keep it all in one workspace so I created multiple. But each still uses the same library. I can duplicate the main components file and move it to other workspaces, but I have to do that each time the main components file is updated or copy/paste/create component. I would love the option to be able to share any component library across teams.

While I’m here, I also don’t see a way to set a default canvas color. I use a bluish-gray one because it’s very easy on my eyes. I would love to be able to set that as a default at a global level.

Thanks for considering. And also thank you for all of your incredible work in making penpot possible and available!

Ellen

I would be very happy to share one global library across the teams too. It’s a nightmare to provide an updated library for every team without breaking every linked colours etc 😬

Is there any plans for global libraries?

Otherwise I am also very happy and thankful about the whole Penpot. The first and only way in our organisation to have a modern design tool together.
