Hi there, I am a designer helping maintain a large design system used mostly for an ecommerce site. The Figma libraries were built almost 4 years ago now so there are some new features we're discussing leveraging, especially using variables to make the library components fully responsive (right now we have a separate desktop and mobile version of each component.) Has anyone made this transition before? It will involve a lot of legwork so I want to approach this carefully, would love to hear from others who have managed a similar large-scale update.
