Variants option missing from panel

I’m following along with the variant video, and I have made a basic component, but the “Variants” option is not available in my properties panel for some reason. My Figma is up to date (124.2.9). Do I need to do something to get it to show?

Hi @Tom_Dell_Aringa1, Thanks for reaching out about this. We’re glad to see you’re watching Figma Tutorial: Variants and I completely understand your confusion about the UI differences.

To create new variants, please go ahead and click the + icon in each of the locations mentioned for each UI below:

There are a few other methods for creating new variants, and you can find more details here: Create and use variants > Create new variants
We hope this information is helpful to you.

Happy designing!
