How Do I Change a Variant in Figma?

Figma is a powerful web-based design and prototyping tool used by designers around the world. It’s easy to use, yet it offers a wide range of features that make it an invaluable tool for creating modern user interfaces.

One of those features is the ability to create and modify variants, which are variations of an existing design. Variants allow designers to quickly switch between different versions of a design, such as colors, typefaces, layouts, and more.

Changing a variant in Figma is quite simple. First, open up the Figma file that contains the variant you’d like to modify.

Then, select the object or group of objects you want to create a variant for. You’ll see a small arrow icon next to the selected object or group in the top right corner; click this icon to open the Variants panel.

In the Variants panel, you will see all of the variants currently available for your selection. To add a new variant, click on “+ New Variant” at the bottom of the panel.

This will bring up a dialog box where you can enter a name for your new variant and specify any properties that should be changed (such as colors, fonts, etc.). Once you’ve specified all desired changes, click “Create” to add your new variant.

If you need to edit an existing variant in Figma, simply select it from the Variants panel and make your desired changes directly in Figma’s canvas area. When finished making changes to your selected variant, remember to click “Save” at the bottom of the Variants panel.

Conclusion:

Changing a variant in Figma is easy and straightforward: simply select an object or group of objects that you want to create or edit a variant for; open up its Variants panel; add or select an existing variant; and make any desired changes directly in Figma’s canvas area before saving them. This will allow you to quickly switch between different versions of your design with ease and efficiency!
