Figma Community provides a “New Component Decision Tree”, a flowchart designed to guide teams through the process of adding new components to their design system. This visual tool helps ensure that components are thoughtfully integrated, addressing whether they should be treated as global or specific to a project.
The decision tree is particularly useful for teams maintaining large, scalable design systems. It promotes consistency by standardizing the evaluation process for new components and includes updates such as refined flows and structured color-coded sections. By simplifying decision-making, it helps teams reduce duplication and ensure their design system remains cohesive and efficient. This resource is ideal for product teams, designers, and developers working collaboratively on structured component libraries.
