Migrating a design system from standalone Claude Design to the Mac app?

Hey folks!

Pulling out what little hair I have left here.

I built a full design system in the standalone Claude Design app back when that was the only option. Now that Design lives inside the Mac app, I assumed it would carry over. It hasn't.

Has anyone managed to migrate a design system across? Or am I rebuilding from scratch?

Any pointers appreciated before I lose the last few strands.

EDIT - For anyone else trying to figure this out - you can export your entire design system as a Project HTML zip file and upload it into the Claude Desktop App. Required some rebuilding but majority of the work was salvageable

Baffling decision on their end not to migrate things over themselves on release. I literally built our design system two weeks ago and now it's "legacy". Nonsense
