Use Boolean and Text properties to build a flexible card component
WHAT IT TESTS: Figma properties to limit variants while keeping cards editable. ANSWER OUTLINE: Boolean toggles image; Text properties override title and description; auto layout handles reflow.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you default to component properties before creating redundant variants in Figma. ANSWER OUTLINE: bind a Boolean to the image layer for show and hide; apply Text properties to title and description for direct instance editing; use auto layout with conditional spacing so the card reflows when the image is hidden; reserve variants only for structural differences, never content toggles. RED FLAG: creating separate variants for image on and off, which multiplies maintenance and breaks overrides during swaps.
