Figma's Handoff Status: A Traffic Light for Devs
Think of Figma's handoff status as a traffic light for your designs, signaling what's safe to build. Designers mark sections `Ready for dev`, and Figma automatically flags them as `Changed` if modified.
Think of Figma's handoff status as a traffic light for your designs, signaling to developers what's safe to build. It replaces ambiguous communication with a clear, in-tool system. A designer marks a section `Ready for dev`, and if they edit it, Figma automatically sets a `Changed` status. The footgun is that this `Changed` status doesn't trigger for updates to component instances from a library or changes to attached variables, creating a risk of building from outdated specs.
