How to Add a Figma Design to Webvizio
Webvizio offers two flexible options for incorporating your Figma designs into your workflow:
1. As a dedicated design project (Figma-First)
Transform your Figma design into a stand-alone Webvizio project. This approach is ideal when your entire project revolves around a specific Figma design, allowing you to treat it like any web project within Webvizio.
2. As a new tab to an existing web project (Side-by-Side)
Bring your Figma designs directly into your current web projects. This method allows you to:
- Keep your Figma designs and related web pages in one unified workspace
- Effortlessly compare your Figma designs with live web pages
- Enhance collaboration by centralizing design assets and implementation in one place

- Open in New Window: Quickly access the original Figma design in a new tab, allowing for seamless switching between Webvizio and Figma environments.
- Download Image: Export the current view of your Figma design as a PNG file, useful for quick sharing or documentation purposes.
- Zoom Controls: Adjust the scale of the design for detailed work or overview, with a percentage indicator for precise control.
- Full Screen: Scales the design so that it fully covers the working area of the screen.
