Once a Sync provider is added to Tokens Studio, you may need to change the credentials.
Open the Tokens Studio plugin and navigate to the settings page.
Navigate to the sync provider of your choice in the list.
Select the three-dot menu icon on the right side of the sync provider details.
Select edit from the menu options.
A modal will open with a form to edit the necessary credentials.
Each provider's form will look slightly different. If you need help on how to fill out the form, make sure to check out their specific documentation for detailed instructions:
Select Save to continue. Sometimes you have to scroll the form to see the save button.
Once you Save your credentials, the plugin will compare your Tokens with whats in your repository.
You may see a modal asking you to push or pull to 'sync' the plugin data with your storage provider, depending on the type of provider, permissions, and the Tokens you have in the plugin.
These images show the push and pull modals for a new GitHub sync, but it will look similar for most providers.
If your sync provider already has Design Tokens, you'll see a dialogue asking if you want to pull your Tokens in.
If you select yes
Tokens in your remote storage will be pulled into the plugin.
Any Tokens currently in the plugin will be replaced with the Tokens in your remote storage, and they can not be recovered.
Once the pull is complete, the modal will close and you'll be returned to the Settings page of the plugin.
If you select cancel
Tokens currently in the plugin will remain, and you can choose to push them to your sync provider later.
The modal will close and you'll be returned to the Settings page of the plugin.
If you close the modal without making a selection
Tokens currently in the plugin will remain, and you can choose to push them to your sync provider later.
Closing the modal returns you to the Settings page of the plugin.
If your sync provider does not have code files with Design Tokens, you'll see a modal asking if you want to push.
This would push or "send" the current Tokens in the plugin to your sync provider.
If you select Push changes
The commit message is required.
You can think of it as a short note to your engineers about what you are pushing, such as "initial token load."
Tokens in the plugin will be pushed to your remote storage.
Once the pull is complete, the modal will close and you'll be returned to the Settings page of the plugin.
If you select cancel
Tokens currently in the plugin will remain, and you can choose to push them to your sync provider later.
The modal will close and you'll be returned to the Settings page of the plugin.
If you close the modal without making a selection
Tokens currently in the plugin will remain, and you can choose to push them to your sync provider later.
Closing the modal returns you to the Settings page of the plugin.
The sync provider will be connected and appear in the settings page as Active.
If you don't want this sync provider to be active in your current file, you can choose a different one from the list.
