Figma's educational workshop on components runs 53 minutes and covers the full component lifecycle: building from scratch, instances, overrides, properties, slots, Dev Mode handoff, and library publishing. A community file is available to follow along at figma.com/community/file/1637176622656243292.
The real value here is the sequencing. Component properties land at 26:15, slots at 42:17. These two features are where most designers stop using components correctly, and the workshop treats them as distinct concepts rather than collapsing them together. That structural clarity is worth the runtime alone.
If you work on a design system or hand off files to engineers, the Dev Mode and publishing sections at the end are the fastest argument you will find for why component discipline upstream reduces rework downstream. Watch the Q&A at 52:49 for the edge cases the structured portion does not cover.
