Figured out a clever component swap in Figma that saved me 30 minutes of manual work

I kept struggling with changing every instance of a button across 50 screens, doing it one by one like a dummy. Then I realized I could just create a master component variant and batch swap them all using the component panel in under 2 minutes. Has anyone else found a weird specific use for component variants that made your workflow way faster?

Wait so your boy just found this out too? My buddy was redesigning a whole app navigation and had like 30 different arrow icons pointing in different directions for dropdowns across all the pages. He was literally sitting there rotating each one manually until I told him about creating a rotation variant in the component set. Dude swapped all of them in like 3 clicks and saved himself probably an hour of busy work. He still talks about that day like it was a religious experience or something lol.
