Not sure I follow the qs

Apologies! So we have a design library, but a very complex product we work on. It’s important to know how and why different components are laid out together. We’ve utilized templates, but there are patterns / rules that templates don’t completely cover.

Sounds like the problem is to keep up with the documentation of the library (which is complex) with the goal of making that understandable by anyone who jumps into that file, correct?

More like, teach new hires / remind people the guidelines and rules established based on decisions and technical hurdles of the product in the past.

Would a periodic workshop/bootcamp help? Maybe even a loom video if there are not a lot of new updates to the patterns/components.

Good idea! We’ve done workshops here and there, but haven’t touched back since the last new hire in November with a refresh. Could also help getting all this documentation actually documented. 🙃
