🔗 Link stories to design

Link stories to corresponding Figma components or variants.

This creates a persistent connection between code and design that propagates to every component instance across Figma files.

When you link once, you never have to do it again.
🕹 Play with interactive stories to confirm behavior

• Designers confirm the nuances of how a component is expected to behave before committing to using it.

• Devs can reference an implementation without tabbing between windows.
⬆️ Open the full Storybook in one click

Jump to the complete Storybook with addons, tests, and auto-generated docs.

Every connected component has a handy link to “Open story in browser”.
📌 Pinpoint components during design handoff

Components with links to stories are called out in the Figma sidebar.

That helps you identify which component you can reuse and which components you need to build anew.
📐 Compare implementation to design specs

When you're done with implementation, check that the rendered UI matches the design.

Use Measure addon shows the dimensions and spacing of DOM elements.
🧐 Align CSS layouts in a glance

Use the Outline addon to visualize the boundaries of each DOM element. This helps you debug CSS alignment.
🎨 Check color accessibility

Accessibility addon provides filters that simulate different forms of colorblindness.

This helps you verify whether a component’s color palette is palatable to users with disabilities.
