BRING CODE-BACKED SCREENS ONTO THE CANVAS WITH VARIABLES ATTACHED
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Figma now binds colors, type, and spacing to existing file variables when code-backed screens are brought onto the canvas, rather than importing them as hardcoded values. This applies to Make preview copies, code-to-canvas generation via the Figma MCP server, and live web pages captured through the Chrome extension. Frames also arrive with auto layout more often, letting edits resize and reflow so teams can refine designs instead of rebuilding them.
