I have populated my asset panel with components, colors and text styles thats applied to my design but when I produce code specs for sharing (share for development) none of these appear in the section named Variables. It says "When designers add colors and character styles to the assets panel in XD, they will appear here as design variables for you to use." So why are they not there like they used to be before this new Variables section came?

Hi Perrybrus,
Thank you for reaching out. If I heard you right, it looks like you're looking for the design token. Could you please take a look at this help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-design-tokens-in-XD.html and see if that helps?
Thanks,
Harshika

The section in Code specs is called Variables. As mentioned in my post it says ""When designers add colors and character styles to the assets panel in XD, they will appear here as design variables for you to use." Well, I have done that but as mentioned they are not available in the Variables section.

Ah okay. Could you please make sure that the Export for Web is selected because the link sharing feature is supported only in design spec links that have been exported for web?
Let me know if that works.
Thanks,

Yes, export for web has always been default for this project. There's no content in Variables.

I am having this same issue. Even with tons of assets and design tokens (double clicking on a style and renaming it) there is nothing in the variables section with export for web enabled. Looks like I'll have to use zeplin for this....
