Quick answers for this chapter
What’s the most important Figma skill?
Auto layout. It makes designs flexible, consistent and much closer to how websites are built.
Components or copy-paste?
Components. Change the main component and every instance updates.
Styles or variables?
Use variables for colors, numbers and modes (like light/dark) and styles for text and effects. Many teams use both.
