Question
What is the use of Sketch in terms of using COSMOS design system?
I saw that Sketch can be used under COSMOS design system.
But I can't understand what to do using Sketch for COSMOS.
What is a design file ?
Why should I download ?
What should I do with the downloaded file in Sketch ?
How can I bring the output of sketch to pega?
What is inside that file?
How it helps for working on COSMOS design in Pega?

Thanks for your prompt response Cherb. Please confirm on my below understanding.
Sketch is used only to build skeleton of design template which needs to be created in Pega. There no direct link between Sketch and Pega.
This will be helpful for the Pega developer to visualize on "how should the design template should look like?".
Based on the sketch design, the Pega developer will create the resuable design template in Pega.
You are very welcome !. Yes, Exactly. Your understanding is correct !
Hello @Connect@Abicom,
I believe the sketch files you are referring to are from the link
https://design-dev.pega.com/resources/download
Below are the answers (what I know ) to your questions
What is a design file ?
Our product designers uses Sketch (https://www.sketch.com/) to transform design ideas into products, every day. The design file is the outcome/design that our designer did using sketch product.
Why should I download ?
If you want to explore how our product designers did the prototypes or if you would like to modify the design for your application that you are going to build using cosmos, Instead of updating the rules in pega product, you can simply download and edit the design templates/prototypes using sketch product
What should I do with the downloaded file in Sketch ?
Same answer of above question applies here.
If you want to explore how our product designers did the prototypes or if you would like to modify the design for your application that you are going to build using cosmos, Instead of updating the rules in pega product, you can simply download and edit the design templates/prototypes using sketch product
How can I bring the output of sketch to pega?
This need a pega developer. I believe there is not direct way to get them (like import) into pega dev studio or any portal. There should be manual effort by pega developer who can convert the prototypes in to pega screens.
What is inside that file?
This a binary file that can understand by Sketch tool. Please install sketch tool and import these files in to that tool and see what it contains.
How it helps for working on COSMOS design in Pega?
Lets say your application requirement says to modify the existing cosmos design. The business user or user experience designers can work on this sketch design to modify and get the feedback before fully baked into the pega.
Thank you,
