Variants in Figma are a way to make changes to an element, and then save those changes as a named variation. For example, you might have a button with two variants: one for the default state, and one for when the button is hovered over. Or, you might have a text field with variants for different types of input, like error messages or placeholder text.
To create a variant, first select the element you want to change. Then, make your changes in the Properties panel. Finally, click the “+” icon next to the “Variants” property, and give your variant a name.
Once you’ve created a variant, you can apply it to other elements by selecting them and choosing the variant from the “Variants” property dropdown.
You can also create variants of groups and frames. To do this, select the group or frame, and then click the “+” icon next to the “Variants” property. Give your variant a name, and then make your changes.
Variants are a great way to manage different states of an element, or different types of input. By creating variants, you can easily apply your changes to multiple elements at once.
A variant is simply a saved version of an element with certain changes applied to it. In Figma, you can create variants of individual elements as well as groups and frames.
Creating variants is useful for managing different states of an element (e.g. default vs hover state) or different types of input (e. error messages vs placeholder text).
To create a variant, first select the element you want to change. Then make your changes in the Properties panel. Finally, click the “+” icon next to the “Variants” property and give your variant a name.
Once you’ve created a variant, you can apply it to other elements by selecting them and choosing the variant from the “Variants” property dropdown menu. You can also create variants of groups and frames by selecting the group or frame and clicking the “+” icon next to the “Variants” property. Give your variant a name and then make your changes.
Overall, variants are helpful for streamlining your design process by allowing you to quickly apply certain changes to multiple elements at once.
