Layer Separation & Project Identity

Why we did this

The style guide was doing three jobs at once: shared parts, brand notes and a website. Its settings needed special switches to know which job it was doing.

What happened

The shared parts moved into their own project. The design site now uses them like any other project does, so it feels the same problems everyone else would.

In wordsShared parts live in one project; the brand notes and the showcase site live in another.
