How should I use a community design system?

Hello, I would like to know how to effectively use a design system in Figma. I have a few specific questions to make sure I’m following best practices: File Duplication : Should I start by duplicating the design system file and create my pages within this copy, or is there another recommended method? Quick Color Modification : In a large design system, what’s the best way to change colors globally and quickly? Are there any tips to avoid having to modify colors element by element? Publishing the Design System : When is it necessary to publish the design system in Figma? Should I publish after each modification or only at key moments? Thank you very much for your help!

Limiting the size of text with Auto Width property when it reaches the container boundary

Limiting the size of text with Auto Width property when it reaches the container boundary. At first glance the answer is the “Auto Height” property, which limits the text when it reaches the container boundary, e.g. autolayout, when the field is stretched to its full width with the Fill width property. But! Let’s say we are talking about text with an icon. I want the icon to come right after the text, and this is only possible with the Auto Height field. But then the size of my text field becomes unlimited, and the content can either go outside the container or be clipped by the Clip content property. Both options are clumsy and undesirable. It would seem that the Max width property could solve this problem, but it stops working properly for our task if our component is resizable. I’ve shown it clearly on the pic. Guys, any ideas how to solve this now? Or without a new property (e.g. max width = parent width) it’s unsolvable?

Can you prevent element IDs from changing?

For a specific project I am working on, we are looking to identify elements by using the element IDs. However, whenever something changes on a given Figma page, the IDs are redistributed/updated, which makes it impossible to identify the elements by their element ID. Is there a way to prevent the element IDs from changing for existing elements even if other elements are added or existing ones are changed?

Фигма очень тормозит!

На работе поставили новый компьютер i7-12700K/64Gb/500Gb/4080/1200W/Windows 10 Pro А фигма жëтско тормозит, не могу нормально двигать пространство и фреймы, браузерная версия и то быстрее работает, чем версия для компьютера. Попробовала включить фигму в высокую производительность через системы-дисплей-графика и перезагрузить, но не помогло. Что делать?

Why is the prototype slowing down?

We have developed a design system. Interface layouts were created based on it. When we switch to prototype mode, everything slows down very much. There are drop-down lists, there are hovers, there are scrolls. What is the reason and how to get rid of the problem?

Prototype Smart Animate is really confusing me.

As shown below, when doing one of the animations it turned out fine, then when I copied it to another one, and matched everything up just like I did last time, it looks really bad and is very confusing. video here Project Link

Library syncing issues

Hi everyone, I have a design system library that I publish regularly. This library is being used in other project files. Recently I noticed that whenever I publish an update to the design system library I encounter the following three scenarios: The project files using the design system library is correctly receiving notice of all updates. I click “Update all” and it successfully reflects all changes. The project is correctly receiving notice of all updates, but clicking the “update all” button won’t reflect the updates. So, no changes at all. The “update all” button remains. Not receiving notice of the updates at all. What I tried I have read other threads in this forum, where some users suggest to repair various connections, which I did to no avail (also, the same design system library was successfully published and updated before). My questions Is this a bug? Is this a traffic bandwidth limitation? Is there a methodology that I’m not aware of that prevents this from happenin

Having problems trying to combine objects

I am making a music app for a school project. I am trying to do a horizontal line of a few items, which has a white square, image placed on top of the square and a title next to it. I was using the flatten button to do the first few items on the left, but then for some reason it stopped working. Whenever I would select the white background, the image and the text to flatten, the image would blow up and warp, but stay within the confines of their original size. This was the case no matter if I merged the image and the box first, or the image and the text, or the text and the box, etc. Same issue when trying to use ‘union selection’, except when I went to take a screenshot it started making all the elements disappear except one so that’s fun

Fill vector with different colors

I created a vector (on the left) from a picture (on the right). I’m wondering how to fill different parts of the figure with different colors? And related question: Left hand of Shmebulock is splitted from the arm with a narrow line. When I tried change width for path segment only the whole path is changed. So, my goal is to fill gaps with different colors and to have some of segment narrow.
