Best way to create branded UI Kits

[adewestlake]

We have a white-label product that is then branded for individual clients.

My ideal framework would be that we create a core (whitelabel) UI Kit and associated template file that pulls in components as linked symbols. We then simply change duplicate both files and rebrand the UI Kit file for each client.

This creates a challenge because as far as I can see the linked file is an absolute path, so to change the linked file, you have to remove the original to get a 'relink' option which you can then point at another file.

Is there an easier way? How have other people managed UI Kits in a B2B style environment?

I find sometimes the linked symbols do not get updated but can you not use local symbol instead? 

[adewestlake]

Using local symbols is fine. What I was looking for is a slightly faster way or reusing and rebranding UI Kits. It seems starting with e UI Kit and then detaching the symbols is often necessary given you can only locally change the text anyway, and not the other properties.

The structure I really want is something like:

Core UI Kit

    Core UI templates (using linked symbols from Core UI Kit)

Then to brand, duplicate both files to create:

Branded UI Kit

        Branded UI templates

I want to then reassociate the linked symbols in Branded UI template with the Branded UI Kit.

You can't re-link the symbol currently, AFAIW.
