8 Create New Design

This topic provides information on Create New Design.

This feature allows for the automatic creation of design components in Figma based on predefined specifications. It streamlines the early stages of the design process by providing standardized elements, enabling designers to efficiently begin their work with consistent and compliant components.

The Create New Design feature supports:

Forms

  • Auto-generates a boilerplate form with random input fields.
  • Fields can be replaced to suit your design requirements.
  • Users can:
    • Specify the number of form sections.
    • Define the maximum number of columns, which refers to how many columns appear on large screens (e.g., desktops).

Overview Sections (Body)

  • Generates dummy overview sections used in the body of an overview template.
  • Users can define the number of overview sections needed.
  • The dummy section can be replaced with a user-designed business component using the instance swap property.
