Thank you for consistently providing high-quality content. However, in the tutorials on "Moving Figma Components Between Files" and "Swapping Figma Libraries to Create a Testing Environment, " you're demonstrating 'how to' perform these tasks, but not 'why' we might want to do them. It's challenging for me to understand the reasons behind these actions or envision their potential use cases. I would greatly appreciate it if you could explain the 'why' alongside the 'how to' instructions. Thank you.

As always, impressive tips and succinct explanations. Swap Figma Libraries to Create a Testing Environment was my favourite.

Could you pls make a video on how build a design system? There are many videos and they are all confusing after a point

Nice - Thanks a lot. For font size and line height -> It's a pity that the values (height) don't change proportionally (by default) when changing the font size.
