Part IV: Related Components
Overview
How to Organize and Simplify Figma Projects
In this video, I demonstrate the best practices for organizing symbols and instances in Figma using forward slashes for grouping.
By following these methods, you can keep your design files clean and easily navigable. By the end of this video, you will learn how to effectively name and organize symbols within Figma. I guide you through the process of renaming your components using forward slashes to create a clear hierarchical structure. This approach ensures that related components are grouped together, simplifying the navigation and management of your design files. You will see practical examples of renaming icons and images, and discover how these changes make the components more accessible through cleaner property panels.
Summary
- Introduction to Organization: I explain the need to keep Figma projects organized due to the potential messiness of multiple elements and components.
- Using Forward Slashes: Forward slashes are introduced as a method to separate and group symbols or instances.
- Renaming Components: Demonstrations on renaming various components such as icons and images to include forward slashes for grouping.
- Practical Examples: Step-by-step examples of renaming icons (e.g., icon/play, icon/image) to show practical application.
- Clean Property Panels: Explanation of how this method results in cleaner property panels with only relevant components showing.
- New Dropdown Options: Introduction to new dropdown options for quicker access to related components.
- Summary of Benefits: Recap of the benefits of this organizational approach for maintaining clean and manageable design files.
- Call to Action: Encouragement to apply these practices in your own projects to see the improvements in organization and efficiency.
- Invitation to Watch: Inviting viewers to watch the video for a detailed walkthrough and to enhance their Figma project management skills.
- Closing Remarks: Final thoughts on the importance of organized design files and maintaining best practices.
