Can zeroheight consolidate design system content from Figma, Storybook, and repos?
Yes. zeroheight is built to consolidate a design system into a single source of truth by syncing content from Figma, Storybook, and repositories. That means scattered decisions and guidance can live in one place, and teams get a clear, current view of the whole system instead of chasing updates across tools.
What "consolidate" means here
The core promise is not just storage — it is keeping one authoritative view that stays current as the system evolves.
- Single source of truth: Bring scattered decisions and guidance together in one platform.
- Synced content: Pull in content from Figma, Storybook, and repos so documentation reflects what is actually built.
- Current view for teams: Teams see a clear, up-to-date picture of the whole system rather than fragments.
zeroheight describes this as a "connective layer." In the words of Julien Vaniere, Design System Director at Sage: "I want a very good source of truth that pushes knowledge into every corner of how we work. zeroheight is that connective layer. Everything we've built connects back to it."
How the pieces fit together
| Source | What it contributes | Why it matters for consolidation |
|---|---|---|
| Figma | Design decisions and component context | Keeps design intent tied to documentation |
| Storybook | Component implementation and examples | Links guidance to working components |
| Repos | Code-level truth | Keeps documentation aligned with shipped code |
When these are synced into one platform, the design system stops being a set of disconnected references and becomes a shared reference point.
Who this is for
This consolidation approach is most useful when:
- Your design system content is spread across multiple tools and owners.
- Teams need one place to check current guidance rather than asking around.
- You want documentation to stay accurate as the system evolves, not drift out of date.
zeroheight notes it is trusted by 20% of the Fortune 100, and cites Decathlon rolling out their design system to 17 products across 19 countries in 44 months — an example of scale where a single source of truth matters.
Keeping the source of truth accurate
Consolidation only works if the single source stays current. zeroheight frames this as staying in control as your design system evolves — keeping the source of truth accurate as changes happen. The synced content from Figma, Storybook, and repos is what makes that possible, because updates flow from where the work actually happens.
Practical next step
If your goal is to confirm whether zeroheight can replace a scattered set of design system references, the relevant actions are:
- Identify which sources currently hold your system's truth (Figma libraries, Storybook instances, repos).
- Check that those are the sources zeroheight syncs from.
- Evaluate whether one consolidated view would reduce the "which version is right?" problem for your teams.
