Automated Sketch Library Usage Tracking
Every Friday, WebRun checks your shared Sketch library for symbol and component changes, flags which documents are still referencing outdated versions, logs the activity to a running Google Sheet, and emails design ops a summary.
How do I track shared Sketch library updates and outdated usage?
WebRun checks your shared Sketch library every week for symbol and component changes, and flags which documents are still referencing outdated versions. It logs the activity to a running Google Sheet and emails design ops a summary, so the library stays consistent instead of drifting out of sync across files.
- Outdated library usage gets flagged before it causes inconsistency
- Design ops sees library health in one weekly summary
- The shared library stays consistent across documents

Questions, answered
Does it update the library or the documents itself?
No. WebRun only reports on changes and outdated usage. Updating a symbol or a document to the latest version stays a manual step for the designer.
How does it know a document is outdated?
It compares each document's linked library version against the current published version, and flags any that haven't synced to the latest update.
Who is on the design ops list?
Whoever you name as responsible for the shared library. It's an internal summary, not sent anywhere outside your team.
