Figma dropped a new tutorial: ​“With component properties, you can define which parts of a component can change. And instead of creating separate variants, you can use component properties to reduce the number of components needed. This takes the guesswork out of designing for anyone using these components and they can quickly make adjustments as Figma keeps component property controls in one place.”

That’s a pretty badass collection of shortcuts — I didn’t know most of them!
