Figma Modes: Syncing Multi-Brand Systems to Design Files

Figma Variables support Modes (e.g. Brand A, Brand B, Light, Dark). When a designer switches a canvas from Brand A to Brand B, Figma automatically swaps every variable without requiring re-linking.

Design system teams maintain a 1-to-1 parity between Figma Variable Modes and Coded CSS Custom Property Themes. If a token exists in Figma, it must exist under the identical name in code.
