Technical FAQ
Knowledge BaseSystem Support
Comprehensive answers to architectural and operational queries for the Variables Studio ecosystem.
Architecture
Does Variables Studio require external connectivity?
No. The plugin operates 100% locally within the Figma sandbox. All heavy-lift operations (export, import, swap) are processed on your local machine.
What variable schemas are supported?
Variables Studio supports the complete Figma primitive stack: Color, Number, String, and Boolean, with optimized path preservation for thousands of nodes.
Technical Ingestion
How does the system handle binding conflicts?
Our ingestion engine uses a 'Path-First' resolution protocol. If a path mismatch is detected, the system will prompt for manual reconciliation or automated skipping based on your settings.
Are multi-mode relationships preserved?
Yes. The JSON spec encapsulates mode-specific values at the node level, ensuring that Light/Dark/High-Contrast relationships remain intact during transfer.
