Lesson

Figma's generative features do three separable things: they make a first draft of a screen, they fill frames with plausible content, and they help you rename, describe and search a file that has got away from you. The third is the one professionals use daily and nobody demonstrates.

Two open drawers. The left is a tidy type case with compartments of matching small shapes such as tabs, cards and circles. The right is a jumble of loose paper rectangles. A hand builds a neat little screen layout from the tidy drawer's pieces.
Build from the tidy drawer and you get a system. Build from the jumble and you get a pile.
