Create state in prototypes with variables (2025 update) in
Follow along → https://www.figma.com/community/file/...
(Written instructions are in the file, if you prefer!)
Here’s a quick tutorial of how to use variables in Figma. Updated for the new Figma UI (UI3). Together, we’ll make a simple habit tracking prototype that has toggle-able filters and multiple chained actions. We start by completing a component design using text properties and variant properties, and then create local variables to manage state. The magic happens when we link a component variant to a variable.
Don’t just watch. Follow along. And please, ask me any questions below!
