Can we please have this individual do all the Figma tutorials? Best ever. Clearest by far.

[conansredbowtie]

She needs her own playlist. I've been trying to learn Figma all break and her videos have been my favorites, very helpful and entertaining.

[imstevencraig]

You are an amazing communicator - these videos are so much better than reading the tutorials - please can you present every video for Figma and maybe for everything else that is tough to learn in the world.

[ujjawalaggarwal]

Please let this wonderful person do more tutorials!

[DiffuseMoose]

Humorous, knowledgeable, efficient, and straight to the point. This is absolutely an amazing series of tutorials! You're a lifesaver. Thank you for making it easy to understand these concepts and hit the ground running with Figma rapidly! <3

[aghighbaghaei]

this woman is so precise and efficient in explaining everything

[EmilySullivan-qs]

Literally one of the only ACTUALLY helpful videos I've seen on components and properties.

[Oceanflow]

You are such a great teacher - straight to the point! Thank you so much and please, please, please continue to teach us on new updates from Figma!!

This is what you get from this video:
What component properties are and what you can do with them,
why they are better than just variants
and how to remove unwanted variants

They don't actually show how to create boolean, text or instance swap properties from the beginning. For example, how to create a library of Icons to be able to use them in Instance swap property. Also on the right panel I see type, state, show icon, icon... how come you have those? How did you make them? That's what I'm looking for.

[brittei]

You're a great teacher. Thank you.

[stephenasonye]

Awesome video, this was really helpful

[jaslina]

Great tutorial, thank you! Could you share a video with left and right icon, together with white and dark icons.

[joemontero]

I noticed that you deleted the other variant components. But what if those variant components are being used in several design mockups? What would happen to those components?

[lauraguarie]

This feature saved my file! which was about to explode due the amount of variants on complex component, so this has reduced A LOT of that. Would be soooo amazing to set which properties need to be exposed to users, because... in my case with huge components... I'd would have double properties sometimes, the general and the nested ones, so it feels kind of confusing.. but anyways is a good start!

[justinoneill]

So what's up with .base components now? can this be added to the workflow or should base components be abandoned?

[elanaiman]

Hi! thank you for the VERY helpful tutorial. Q: how do I remove preferred icons after adding them? How can I edit the preferred list? Thanks!Amazing tutorials, keep them coming :)

[AidilGoh]

This with the new variable modes are a game changer! Less variants to be concerned with...

[nguyenvuongliving]

I wonder there are different paddings based on icons and text. When turning the icon on and off for a button including text and icon, how can the padding change too? For example, (text+icon) padding will be (24 | 16), (text only) padding will be (24 | 24)? Thank you guys
