Question 8 - Certified User Experience Designer discussion

The Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) is a collection of resources that help you create user interfaces that are consistent with the Salesforce Lightning principles, design language, and best practices. The SLDS resources that could be used to make custom applications look, act, and sound like Salesforce are:

Blueprints and tokens: Blueprints are ready-to-use HTML and CSS UI elements that provide the foundation for Salesforce experience development. Tokens are visual design values and attributes that ensure branding and UI consistency at scale. By using blueprints and tokens, you can create custom components that follow the SLDS design standards and patterns.

Guidelines for voice and tone: Voice and tone guidelines help you write clear, concise, and consistent content that reflects the Salesforce brand personality and values. By using voice and tone guidelines, you can create custom applications that communicate effectively and respectfully with your users.

The SLDS resources that are not relevant to make custom applications look, act, and sound like Salesforce are:

Full functional components: Full functional components are pre-built Lightning components that provide out-of-the-box functionality and interactivity. They are not part of the SLDS, but rather part of the Lightning Component Library. You can use full functional components to speed up your development process, but they are not necessary to make custom applications look, act, and sound like Salesforce.

In-App Guidance: In-App Guidance is a feature that allows you to create and deliver contextual help and training to your users within your application. It is not part of the SLDS, but rather part of the Salesforce Platform. You can use In-App Guidance to enhance your user experience and adoption, but it is not essential to make custom applications look, act, and sound like Salesforce.
