Learn how to view and inspect attributes such as colors, text, measurements, component states, interaction highlights, and more in design specs.

In a shared design specs link, you can view and experience the prototype, add comments and feedback contextually, and choose to get measurements and specs information for the design.

Tabs in the design specs link
Tabs in the design specs link

Design specs link opens in the prototype mode by default. To get the properties and specs info, click the  icon in the right rail.

Upon switching to the specs tab, you can hover over elements and inspect them on canvas to get attributes such as colors, text, measurements, states, and other properties displayed in the Property Inspector.

Click the icon to switch to the variables tab. This tab is available when the designer publishes a design specs link for web. When the designer defines variable names for colors and character styles in a design, you can view the design token information in the variables tab.

  • Select an object in the artboard and if the selected object is a component, you can inspect its multiple states. 
  • To view the different states of the selected component in the artboard, click the options under the Component list in the Property Inspector.  

  • From the Interactions section, view the interactions associated with the active state of the selected component. 
  • Click the inactive state of the component from the list to view the states on the artboard and its interactions.
