3. Click the “Add Token” button.

4. In the “Name” field, enter a name for your design token.

5. In the “Value” field, enter the value of your design token.

That’s all there is to it! Now you can easily add design tokens to your Figma designs and keep them consistent across different platforms.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that Figma does not currently support design tokens. Adding design tokens to your Figma project may cause unexpected behavior and/or errors. We recommend avoiding adding design tokens to your Figma project at this time.
