Figma File vs Real Design System—What's Missing

Getting handed a Figma file and being told it's the design system is a red flag. Melissa Gallagher breaks down what a real design system actually requires: documented processes that live outside of Figma, a dedicated contact person, and a wider organizational understanding of how the system works and how it stays current. The components themselves are only part of the picture. Without the ecosystem around them, what a team thinks is a design system is often just a component library, and that distinction matters more than most people realize.
