[Penpot] Token sets

Token sets allow users to create groups or collections of tokens, providing an organized and manageable structure for design tokens.

Token sets have several key features and behaviors:

  • Default Token Set:

    • On a new file, there will be a token set already existing.

  • Creating New Sets:

    • Every time a new set is created, it will be ordered after the existing sets.

    • The name of the token set is not included in the name of the token.

    • Users can create a token set and give it a unique name.

  • Token Naming and Organization:

    • Tokens with the same name can be created in different sets.

    • Token sets should be ordered for clarity and organization.

  • Reordering Token Sets:

    • Users have the ability to drag and reorder token sets.

    • The order of token sets is important for resolving token values. Tokens with the same name in a latter token set override the value of the token in an earlier token set.

  • Enabling/Disabling Token Sets:

    • Token sets can be enabled or disabled. If a token set is disabled, it will not be used in resolving the value of a token.

These features ensure that users can effectively manage and prioritize their design tokens, facilitating a streamlined and flexible design workflow.
