How designers use and access the design system

Atlassian Design System (ADS) is the core system that powers Atlassian app user interfaces. Most designers use ADS alongside team UI Kit Figma libraries and documentation (for example, Confluence Cloud UI Kit).

ADS is the basis of pattern libraries used by multiple teams (for example, AI pattern library). You can find additional components in Atlaskit that teams have built specifically for their apps, like Confluence Editor.
