Figma components and variants for beginners · Flux Academy
Lesson

In Figma a brand kit is a set of components. The logo lock-ups, the price tag, the quote card and the end frame that closes every social post are each built once as a main component. Everywhere else they appear as instances, so a change to the main component reaches every post and poster that uses it. Nothing is drawn twice.

A central card with a simple circle mark being recoloured yellow, linked by dotted lines to a poster, a phone, a shop window and a tote bag that all show the same yellow mark.
One main card is linked to its copies on a poster, a phone, a window and a bag. Change the main one and every copy updates, so nothing is drawn twice.
