Full Fact Overview
To bridge the gap between design tokens and production code, Figma enhanced Dev Mode with Code Connect. Engineers can now link their actual codebase component libraries directly to Figma design components. When inspecting a button or card, Dev Mode displays the exact production code snippet from the team's repository rather than generic generated CSS.
