The editorial note

What to know about Abstract

Abstract is a version control and collaboration platform built specifically for Sketch design files. Like Git for code, it lets design teams branch, review, merge, and track the full history of their Sketch files. It's used by product design teams at large organizations to manage design systems and collaborate safely.

The verdict

Our take on Abstract

Solved a real problem but Figma's real-time collaboration has made it largely obsolete. Only relevant for Sketch-centric teams.
