Pro tip: I started naming my Figma layers with search terms instead of 'box1' and it cut my file search time in half
Last month, I got sick of hunting for a specific button style in a huge client file. I renamed every layer with words I would actually search for, like 'primary button hover' or 'nav bar icon'. Now when I type 'button' into the layers panel, EVERYTHING shows up instantly. It took about an hour to fix a 50-page file, but I save that time every single week. Has anyone else found a better naming trick that works for their team?

Cut my file search time in half" sounds like a dream. I can't even find my own keys in the morning. Emma_ramirez has a point about the components, but who has the time to go back and fix all that? Feels like you just invented a whole new job for yourself. Is the real pro tip just having more patience than the rest of us?
