> Adopt component-driven development: build bottom-up, bridge design and engineering, and keep stories organized and current.

## Component-driven development

Build your application from the bottom up, starting with isolated components documented in Storybook. This ensures reusability, testability, and maintainability.

## Collaboration workflow

Use Storybook as a bridge between designers and developers. Link Figma designs to stories, review changes visually, and use Chromatic for design approval workflows.

## Maintenance and scaling

As your Storybook grows, organize stories by feature, use consistent naming conventions, automate visual testing, and include accessibility checks in every story.

## Continuous improvement

Regularly review your stories, remove outdated ones, and update documentation as your design system evolves.
