What you'll master:

Create slots using right-click conversion, property panel, and wrap methods
Add unlimited instances without breaking component connections
Set preferred instances to guide team members on slot usage
Apply auto layout to slots for vertical/horizontal stacking
Understand how slots improve AI agent workflow accuracy

The game-changer: Previously, adding rows/cards required either show/hide workarounds or detaching from main component (losing all future updates). Slots solve this—maintain component inheritance while dynamically adding instances. Scale design systems without technical debt.
If you're a design systems engineer, product designer, or team managing component libraries, this feature eliminates the detaching nightmare. Build scalable, maintainable systems.
