This is such an important topic!! And a great demonstration of how bundling different icons together as variants makes an objectively worse experience (always keep those guys as separate components!): - Having to select an icon by name alone VS getting a visual preview (offered by the instance swap menu) hurts discoverability. - The droplist of variants has no search input (unlike the instance swap panel) - You can't "escape" to another library or area of the file if you're trying to grab an icon that lives elsewhere - You can't set up preferred selections Great preview of the quality Figma Academy provides 🔥 thank you Ridd!

Great tip, its good to plan ahead in terms of "consumption" like you mentioned, I wonder if Figma should add a subtle divider to visually separate each group when the components properties becomes similar to the last example you showcased.

definitely agree they could do a bit more here to visualize the relation
