Use an `IconWrapper` to nest icons in your components.
That way you can always resize your icons without having to detach components, hide layers, or add additional variants.

Gleb is right – icons as variants can’t be previewed or searched. In fact, Figma doesn’t recommend using variants to group different icons either. If you have different sizes or versions of the same icon, then you could combine these as variants instead.
PSA reminder: never use variants for different icons in @figmadesign!
