All these amazing additions make Figma a true powerhouse, boosting collaboration between designers and developers and opening up exciting new avenues for creating designs that pop.

Dev Mode

Dev Mode is the perfect hangout for designers and developers in Figma files. It gives developers a peek into a design’s underbelly. They can tweak the code without messing up the design itself. This makes teamwork between designers and developers smoother, resulting in top-notch products.

Variables

Figma is now your variable playground. From colours to text and images, variables cover it all. Using variables makes dynamic designs a breeze to update. This feature makes design iterations easy and maintains consistency across components.

Next-Level Prototyping

Figma has seriously supercharged its prototyping game. Think logic that changes based on conditions, math expressions, and live previews. This means interactive prototypes that feel super real and grab the user’s attention. Conditional logic makes it possible to craft dynamic interactions, while math expressions nail precise behaviours. And in-line previews give a quick glance at interactivity, streamlining the prototype process.
