How Do You Implement Design Tokens in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:32 am

Design tokens are a new way to store design information that can be used in different software platforms. Figma is one of the first design tools to support design tokens.

Design tokens are a great way to keep your design consistent across different platforms. Here is how you can implement design tokens in Figma:

1. Create a new file or open an existing one in Figma.

2. Select the “Assets” tab in the upper right corner.

3. Click on the “+” icon and select “Create new token.”

4. Name your token and select its type (color, font, etc).

5. Enter the value for your token.

6. Click “Create.”

7. Your new token will now appear in the “Assets” tab.

8. To use your token, simply click and drag it from the “Assets” tab onto your canvas.

Design tokens are a great way to keep your design consistent across different platforms. Figma is one of the first design tools to support design tokens, so it’s easy to get started with them. Simply create a new file or open an existing one, select the “Assets” tab, and click on the “+” icon to create a new token.

Give your token a name and select its type, then enter its value and click “Create.” Your new token will now appear in the “Assets” tab so you can easily use it in your designs. Implementing design tokens in Figma is quick and easy, so there’s no excuse not to start using them today!

PRO TIP: This article contains outdated information about Figma’s design tokens feature. Figma has since released a new design tokens feature that is much easier to use.
