Tempo · You keep what you designed
You made screens that look right in Tempo. The share link opens. Designers can still tweak. Now you want those screens in a code home you own — a folder the team builds without the editor open, and without a live sync that can overwrite reviewed work. That is what this page is about.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
Leaving Tempo sync means this: you capture the accepted screens and tokens into a repo you own, you build without the editor open, you stop live sync from pushing into the release branch, and you prove the look still matches before you change the public address. You are done when production serves that checkout alone.
Where people get stuck
You do not always need every unpublished experiment. You do need one authoritative emit, token ownership, and a sync pipe that cannot overwrite review.
Without package boundaries, tokens drift and duplicates multiply. One authoritative emit beats merging three half-synced exports.
The editor can overwrite reviewed commits. Production then serves whatever the last sync pushed — not what review approved.
Editor-only stubs must become real adapters before you call the move done.
Also try a cold install, empty screens, odd roles, and a build with the editor closed.
The calm order
We do not redesign the product. We make the handoff portable — then disable the pipe that can undo it.
01
Label design-complete vs WIP. Leave editor caches behind.
02
Stable APIs. No parallel hard-coded colors beside the package.
03
Fresh values. Update return links that still point at share hosts.
04
CODEOWNERS named. Install → test → build on a clean runner.
How to
Emit, normalize, cut sync. Success is a cold build plus a written way back.
Step 01
Accepted screens, tokens, assets, and anything only on the share link.
Step 02
Import commit. Secret names sealed. Sync still reversible.
Step 03
Tokens versioned. Real adapters for sign-in and data.
Step 04
Editor closed. Look matches. Primary journey works.
Step 05
Support knows share-link-era gaps. Time-box going back.

Take the accepted screens, tokens, and assets production depends on. Leave editor caches, unpublished experiments, and preview-only stubs behind. Record which screens were design-complete versus WIP.
Capture one emit, version tokens as a package, pin dependencies, and prove install → test → build with the editor closed. Replace preview mocks with real adapters. Green on the share link does not mean portable.
Copy secret names from the preview into a template. Make fresh values on the destination — never commit a preview dump. Update return links and allowlists that still point at share hosts before you change the public address.
Engineers edit while the editor republishes into the same paths. Checks cannot tell intentional updates from accidental overwrites. Cut sync — or bind it to a sandbox — in the same move as the file copy.
Bring the accepted emit list, token ownership, and whether sync can still push. We put the public address last — and we name the share-link path you can roll back to.
