What are Boards?
Boards in Infa serve as containers for organizing, managing, and sharing your components and screens. Similar to Miro boards, Figma files, or Jira projects, boards provide a structured way to categorize and access your design system assets.
We at Infa have designed boards to be flexible and adaptable to various workflows, whether you're documenting your design system, researching competitors, or collaborating with team members.
