Design system dilemmas: similar looks, different functions
Briefly

The challenge arises when designers and engineers push component boundaries or introduce new variants, complicating the maintenance of an already structured design system.
Implementing a review process where designers and engineers collaborate before development can help streamline component usage and maintain integrity within the design system.
Good documentation isn't free; it requires careful planning to produce useful examples and guidelines that genuinely facilitate understanding and use of the design system.
Questions often arise from documentation, especially when it's consulted only during issues, leading to more confusion rather than clarity around component differentiation.
