NOTES
When discussing instance swaps, I ran into an issue where the other variations were not updating. This was because the other 3 icon layers were not linked in the sidebar. You can either link each one or copy and paste like I did in the video.

Also – the pointer icon does not show on my screen recording software, but this interaction does work in Figma.

Thanks for watching!
