# Overriding Standard Tokens (Deprecated)

If you override design tokens for your custom components, replace them with SLDS styling hooks.

:::important
Overriding standard tokens is deprecated as of API version 61.0, the Summer ’24 release. We recommend that you use [Styling Hooks](https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/platforms/lightning/styling-hooks/) instead. See [Replace Design Tokens with Styling Hooks](/docs/platform/aura-platform/guide/styling-hooks.md).
