Figma: Smart instance swapping with organized components
Organize your Figma components with hierarchical naming to unlock powerful instance swapping:
Use structured component names (e.g., icon/arrow/left
, button/primary/large
) — then Right-click → Swap instance reveals a searchable menu grouped by those hierarchical names.
This naming convention transforms the instance swap menu from a flat list into an organized tree structure, making it much faster to find and swap related components. The hierarchical grouping is especially valuable in large design systems where you might have dozens of icon variants or button states to choose from.
