Scope String

What It Does

The Scope String node defines specific variable scopes for string tokens in Figma. It controls where and how text variables can be used within the Figma interface.

How to Use It

1. Drag the Scope String node into your graph.

2. Connect a string token to the "Token" input.

3. Check the boxes for contexts where the string should be available (e.g., Font Family, Text Content).

4. The output token will be available in Figma only for the selected contexts.
