New additions
We are really excited to share the additions below. The storefront search functionality and component live links are direct outcomes of the feedback you have provided in recent surveys. Both aim to improve component recall and use case context. Lastly, we have unified our overlay and box shadow styles to ensure consistency and reduce hard coded elements.
Storefront search functionality You can now search within the design system storefront for what you need, when you need it. No more wasting time hunting around.
Live component links When considering what component to use and why, you can now hit a link to view a component in a live environment.
Overlay & box shadow guidance No more creating one off overlay or box shadow styles, these are now part of the design system library for all brands to use.
We’ve recently been reviewing the usage of the master design system files that live within Figma and wanted to share some interesting insights.
Over the last 30 days, there have been 14,665 master file component copy + paste insertions.
The master file comprises of 398 components and variations for all teams to use.
On average, the master file is used by 30 different teams at any one stage.
The most frequently used component is the SummaryItem with 28,132 instances across files.
Help shape the design system
We invite you to share your thoughts in the forth user survey. The feedback you provide directly informs the areas we focus upon within the system and has led to significant improvements delivered.
This survey should only take you 5-10 minutes to complete and will close on Friday April 28th. Thank you in advance!
We are really excited to announce a new member of the design system team, Benjamin Jones. Ben will join us as an Associate Product Manager based in London, welcome aboard!
