October 2024 Release: Enhanced Design System Documentation
We at Infa are excited to share our October 2024 release focused on improving your design system documentation workflow. This update brings performance enhancements, better tagging workflows, and improved board management.
What's New
Enhanced Chrome Extension Performance
We've optimized the Chrome extension for faster loading and smoother interactions when documenting design systems. Component detection is now 40% faster, and the extension uses less memory when analyzing complex websites.
Key improvements:
- Faster component detection and analysis
- Reduced memory usage on large websites
- Improved stability when working with dynamic content
- Better handling of single-page applications
Streamlined Component Tagging
Tagging components is now more intuitive with improved workflows and better visual feedback. We at Infa redesigned the tagging interface based on user feedback to make documentation faster and more accurate.
New tagging features:
- Visual indicators for tagged vs untagged components
- Bulk tagging options for similar components
- Improved tag suggestions based on component patterns
- Better handling of nested component structures

Enhanced Board Management
Managing your component boards is now easier with improved organization tools and better board overview capabilities.
Board management improvements:
- Enhanced board overview with component counts
- Better search and filtering within boards
- Improved board sharing and export options
- Streamlined board organization tools
