Process

The variable update script runs automatically once a week (Tuesday at 4 PM UTC) and executes all jobs without applying changes.

When you get notified that the update script detected changes, these are the steps to apply them:

1. Review changes
   You can click "Detailed summary" in the Slack message or look at the last Github action run directly to get a detailed summary of the changes the script would apply for each job.

2. Create branch
   Open the appropriate file for each job and create a new branch.
   You don't have to create a branch, but once the changes are applied, the only way to revert the changes is through the file version history in Figma.

   • For "Central tokens to desktop styles" open Desktop Styles
   • For "Import color palette to Firefox Colors" open Firefox Colors
   • For "Update Android M3 modes" open Android Components (2025)

3. Copy URL of branch
   In the new branch, click "Share" and then "Copy link".

4. Apply changes to branch
   Go to the appropriate action in Github, clic "Run workflow", paste the copied URL and then click "Run workflow". Wait for the workflow to finish successfully. You can also check "Do not apply changes" if you want to perform another dry run on the given file.

   • Central tokens to desktop styles
   • Import color palette to Firefox Colors
   • Update Android M3 modes
