Hi there! I discovered slots are now in open beta and I'm really excited to get started with it. However, in my design system I previously used the Slot Editor plugin. How I'm looking into how to migrate that. I've checked the migration docs Figma offers but I don't think it applied to my use case.

For example, we have a fold component which structurally looks something like this:

r/FigmaDesign - Slot migration advice

in which the "Content <slot>" is what we use for the plugin.

Just turning that into a Figma slot doesn't work, as updated instances lose their slot content.

Anyone found a workaround for this? Or will it require an entire rebuild and check of all instances (Which are a lot) ?

I’ve submitted a plugin to support this. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from Figma. In the meantime, follow me on X for updates:  (1) Dung Le | UI/UX designer (@Dungle2412) / X
