Dashboard

Once you activate the Widget and register the first check, the component will be visible on the dashboard.

You can check off any items here, and the state will sync back to the Widget. However, the Widget will only update after a user interacts with it. Conversely, the checked state will sync instantly.

Create template

To create a new template, go to your dashboard's "Templates" section. Click on the "Onboarding" template to adjust it to your needs, or click "Create New Template" to start from scratch.

Other functions to explore

Additionally, you can change the team name, add team members, or ask others to invite them to their teams.

We have seen various ways to organize a design system in Figma. The Widget allows you to manage it according to your needs. The page is connected by default, but you can adjust the connection to a Frame, Section, Rectangle, etc. Learn more about the selection here.
