What do "Create Styles" and "Update" buttons do?

[nareshbhatia]

I assume "Create Styles" generates styles into Figma. But not sure what "Update" does and how it is different from "Import".

After some experimentation, here's my understanding of what is happening:

1. Import is from Figma to Plugin
2. Create Styles is from Plugin to Figma, but only the styles that do not exist in Figma
3. Update is again from Plugin to Figma, but this time only the styles that already exist in Figma, does not create any new ones.

Please let me know if this is correct.

Right, that is how it works. The plugin allows you to apply design decisions directly on layers, e.g. borderRadius. Update does both styles and layer updates, however those 3 buttons will be reworked to make it easier. Thank you for that feedback 🙏

Import currently only imports styles, create styles does what you described and Update will just update, not create.

Thanks for clarifying, @six7. I am loving this plugin so far. All improvements will be icing on the cake :-)
