Why All UXers Can Benefit From Using Abstract

Working at a UX Company and web development agency chicago based, we have truly seen so many UX tools come and go. One we’ve recently seen come in and make an impact is Abstract. Abstract is a great tool for management and collaboration for Sketch files.

UXers can benefit from using Abstract for several reasons, overall its one place to manage, version, and collaborate their Sketch files. If you’re just starting out with Sketch, or want to learn more, it’s a very beginner-friendly tool that offers easy to understand terminology rather than technical terms, creating an easy workflow.

One major benefit is that when using Abstract, you won’t have to hunt through shared folders because Abstract is a safe storage space for design and library files, a single source of truth for you UX team’s work. Gone are the times of digging around time-stamped folder like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Abstract is also great for collaborating with your UX team. Using Abstract, a team can work on the same set of Sketch files without losing or overwriting anyone’s work. This allows multiple UXers to work on the same exact file without fear that it isn’t the most up-to-date version. The files you work on also automatic sync to the cloud, so you don’t need to remember to upload or download any changes.

Not only is Abstract great for collaborating with a UX team, but you can also share files with fellow engineers, clients, and other stakeholders. Instead of relying on email or Slack for sharing Sketch files, redlining items, or asking for feedback, everyone can easily use Abstract for all project edits and work. Working at a Chicago UX design agency, we’ve noticed this really helps UXers address comments and issues faster than ever.

Another benefit for UXers is that Abstract is a very stable product. Like any great, stable product there are frequent updates and support for new versions and features of Sketch so you’ll always be up to date.

After reading all of the amazing benefits of using Abstract are you ready to make the switch?
