Follow along → https://www.figma.com/community/file/1326229975069110562/prototype-with-state-using-variables In this video we’ll use variables to track state in order to create efficient prototypes in Figma. Together we’ll make an intricate sidebar, with collapsible sections, filtering options, and different scrolling areas. I also cover auto layout, component variants, and various keyboard shortcuts. --- ▶️ Watch next • 11 things to know about variants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mft8CUDZ52s • Flat design is dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kryasBX0l_o • Find the design career you genuinely love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR8CJb-zulA --- 🌐 Get in touch at https://paavandesign.com/ 💡 Got an idea for a video?
