Key Result
A design system file structure in Figma organizes components like colors, typography, buttons, icons, layouts, and documentation into separate files for clarity and easy maintenance.
Transcript
We have a design system file structure that includes key components such as Colors, Typography, Buttons, Icons, Layouts, and Documentation. Each component has a description explaining its purpose and a file path showing where it is stored in the Figma project. This structure helps teams find and update design elements efficiently.
