Going Advanced with Variables and Conditional Prototyping

This chapter unfolds the utility and application of variables and conditional prototyping, venturing into the advanced functionalities of Figma. Variables in Figma are your go-to for storing reusable values, aiding in managing huge design systems and creating complex products efficiently. Conditional prototyping, on the other hand, breathes logic into your prototypes, enabling actions based on user interactions or predefined conditions, thus elevating the interactivity and realism of your designs.

The synergy between variables and conditional logic not only streamlines the design process but also unlocks a higher level of fidelity in your prototypes, especially when building interactive dynamic products and responsive interfaces.

With this chapter, we mark a transition into more advanced territory within Figma. It’s tailored for those who are ready to tackle complex design challenges. Variables and conditional...
