Hello Figma Community,


I’m seeking advice on best practices for handing over a design system that’s used across multiple projects and clients. Our current design system is structured with foundations (where all our variables are documented) shared with component and pattern libraries. This setup is used by multiple designers working on different projects with various client needs.


I need to know the best approach to hand over the design system for a specific project, including the relevant variables and only the components and patterns that were actually used, without having to manually check each one.


Specifically, I’m looking for answers to the following:



  1. Is there a recommended method for efficiently handing over a design system tailored to a specific project’s needs?

  2. Are there any plugins that can help identify and migrate only the used components in a specific file or project?

  3. What are some best practices you follow in similar scenarios to ensure a smooth and complete handover?


Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
