Last updated on November 24, 2022 @ 9:05 pm

Creating a style guide in Figma is simple. First, create a new file in your project and name it “style.md”.

Inside this file, you’ll need to create a content section and a styles section. The content section will hold all of your style guide’s content, while the styles section will contain your style guide’s rules.

To create your style guide’s rules, you’ll first need to create a style sheet. This style sheet will contain all of your style guide’s rules. To create a style sheet, go to the File menu and select “New Style Sheet”. In the “Style Sheet Type” drop-down menu, select “Text Style Sheet”.

In the “Name” field, type “style.css”.

Inside your style sheet, you’ll need to create a few rules. The first rule will tell Figma how to display your guide’s title. In the “Style” rule’s “Comment” field, type ”

#guide-title {

font-family: ‘Avenir’, sans-serif;

font-size: 20px;”

This rule will instruct Figma to use the Avenir font-family and size 20px for your guide’s title.

The next rule will tell Figma how to display your guide’s subtitle. In the “Style” rule’s “Comment” field, type ”

#guide-subtitle {

font-size: 12px;”

This rule will instruct Figma to use the Avenir font-family and size 12px for your guide’s subtitle.

PRO TIP: When creating a style guide in Figma, be sure to take into account your company’s branding guidelines. Make sure to use the same colors, fonts, and logo throughout your style guide. Also, be sure to create consistent spacing and alignment throughout your design.

The last rule will tell Figma how to display your guide’s table of contents. In the “Style” rule’s “Comment” field, type ”

#guide-toc {”

This rule will instruct Figma to use the Avenir font-family and size 12px for your guide’s table of contents.

Now that you’ve created your style sheet, you’ll need to use it in your style guide. To do this, go to the File menu and select “Edit Style Sheet”.

In the “Style Sheet” drop-down menu, select “style.

Inside your style sheet, you’ll need to add a few rules. In the “Style” rule’s “Comment” field, type ”

Now that you’ve added all of your rules, you’re ready to save your style guide. To do this, go to the File menu and select “Save Style Sheet”.

Finally, you’re ready to use your style guide in your project. To do this, go to the File menu and select “Use Style Sheet”.

Congratulations! You’ve created a style guide in Figma!.
