Rogie’s really cool short video shows his process and use of Figma features for creating Grim Syndicate NFTs.

“When you create a file in your drafts, you may have a lot of asset libraries to navigate if your organization and teams have multiple published libraries enabled by default. But what if you only want to see specific libraries when you’re exploring an idea in drafts?”

Danny Sapio with a few quality tips for working with components.

A practical walkthrough by Ridd of how you can use slot components to build a scalable system in Figma that is efficient and flexible.

Joey Banks with a tip on indicating component or layer status through naming.

Josh Cusick shares how the Design Systems team at Microsoft built, maintained, and set up for people to contribute the Figma UI kit for Teams Component Libraries (TCL). He covers structuring pages, naming things, aligning with code, design tokens, and version control.

Molly shares a few takeaways from recreating a responsive Asana dashboard in Figma.

Powerful use of Figma variants and VS Code design toolkit to work on dark and light themes.

A nice tip to UI kit maintainers from Jan Toman.

Ridd with a step-by-step walkthrough to help you design form components that scale without drowning yourself in variants.

Bonnie Kate Wolf suggests using Unicode emojis in front of the variant name for a quick preview.

Joey Banks with an excellent suggestion on how to bring designers and engineers closer.

Dennis Cortes goes over his approach to building scalable components in Figma using Variants, Variant Groups, and Auto Layout. This video touches on the basics, from definitions of each feature to more advanced methods of building out different types of variants in Figma.

“Utilize the power of slots and Figma’s native instance swapping capabilities to customize component content without ever needing to detach component instances ever again.”

Ridd shows how to use ​“slots”, placeholder components that are part of larger organisms or templates. They are intentionally empty so that they can be replaced with a local component.

Ridd shares a detailed guide to building a customizable and flexible form component.

Gleb Sabirzyanov released a major update to his popular plugin for working with components.

It’s finally possible to move published components between files without breaking links to instances in the design system! Besides that, now you can swap out an entire library in a single bulk action and find the right component in a quick search modal. Fantastic update that I’m really excited about. See a backstory by Sho Kuwamoto on how they were built.

Demo of how the new Swap Library feature works. Great for migrating to a new version of the design system or toggling between light and dark modes.

Anthony DiSpezio shows the new component insert menu opened by a Shift+i shortcut.
