I've a few questions regarding Sketch -


Sketch keeps expanding my symbol folders, it seems random and makes it more challenging to find what I want.
Is there an option for how Sketch organizes symbols? Currently they are laid out horizontally in one row and I have to manually lay them out differently.
Some of my artboard are showing assets as "not symbols" when I had previously set them as symbols.
When setting assets as exportable, do I need to set all of my assets as exportable? That is on all my artboard and on the symbols page.
If I have repeated symbols, say a trash can in many locations? Should they all be set as exportable or just one? If they all are will it cause confusion with Zeplin?


I know these sound like newbie questions but my experience with Sketch has been fairly narrow and I just want to get my head around some best practices.

I often faced a same issues with you, however, you may find these ideas work.


Create a Sketch library file, and try to put symbols as much as you can.
Make sure you manage important symbols on the library file.
I recommend you not to manage symbols level-deeper. more than 4. When you try to manage level-deeper symbols, it often makes Sketch having problems whether the version is newer or not.
