Suggested path to learn to design apps with Figma & Polaris?

Hi,

I am a software dev (web and backend) and former merchant. Have used Shopify since years and also built private apps for our shop back in the days.

As I plan to release a public app in the Shopify app store, I learned the basics Figma with some YouTube tutorials and Figma’s YouTube videos. But I struggle with a lot of stuff in the Shopify component library.

First, I can’t find any documentation how to use the Figma components.

Second, they don’t seem to align with the documentation of the Polaris components.

Additionally, they behave in non-expected ways. For example, when I add a Layout component to my frame and set it to two columns, I see two rows in the Figma editor.

How could I approach this?

Thanks for your input.
