Dedicated frame in design tool
• Create a dedicated frame in the Figma component working file to explain key decisions.
• Duplicate and fork ideas in the design tool to keep a record of exploration.
• Be messy on the artboard but document key decisions to provide context.
Single file per component
• Have designers keep a detailed record of design iterations, comments, and revisions in a single file per component.
• Keep a single file for each component where all decisions are documented. Make it a part of tickets to consolidate and document the changes in a log in that file.
Properly maintained files
• Maintain properly organized files with quick summaries and longer descriptions of design iterations.
• Consider how the visual solution responds to the questions posed in discovery and write a note or summary to provide context.
