Creating a component instance in Figma is simple and easy to do. All you need to do is select the component in the left hand panel, then click on the “Create Instance” button in the top right hand corner.

This will create a new instance of the component which you can then move and resize as you wish. You can also change the appearance of the component by clicking on the “Style” tab in the properties panel.

There are many different ways to style a component in Figma, but the most common way is to use the fill, stroke and text options.

Fill: This allows you to change the color of the background of the component.

Stroke: This allows you to add a border to the component.

Text: This allows you to change the color and font of the text inside the component.
