Hi everyone! đź‘‹

I've been learning Figma recently, and there's so much to explore—Auto Layout, Components, Variables, Prototyping, Dev Mode, plugins, and now Figma Make.

I'm curious: what was the one feature that suddenly made your workflow much easier when you were starting out?

For some people it seems to be Auto Layout, while others say Components completely changed how they design.

As a beginner, I'd love to know:

  • Which feature had the biggest impact on your workflow?
  • Was there anything you wish you'd learned earlier?
  • Any beginner mistakes you see people make all the time?

Looking forward to learning from your experiences!
