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.

Ridd shares his approach to organizing files in Figma.

“Learn how to use branching for exploring and testing alternate designs, and for sharing work with development partners.”

Luis Camino, a UI/UX designer at BMW and MINI, shares a few best practices for Library editors.

The team at Onfido Tech moved to Figma from Sketch and Abstract, and they organized projects and files to work around the lack of branches back then. Their structure may be a good fit for a larger organization.

Anton Lovchikov shares his approach to structuring pages in the Figma file.
