Improved Organization
By merging duplicate symbols, the project becomes more organized, reducing clutter and making it easier to manage design components.
Consistency
Ensures consistency across the design by eliminating duplicate symbols that may have slight variations, leading to a uniform design system.
Resource Efficiency
Merging duplicates can lead to reduced file size and improved performance, as fewer redundant assets need to be processed.
Streamlined Workflow
Designers can work more efficiently with a single, unified symbol rather than managing multiple duplicates throughout a project.
Easier Updates
With merged symbols, updating a single instance reflects changes project-wide, saving time and reducing errors.

Loss of Variants
Merging symbols may lead to the unintentional loss of symbol variants that were deliberately created for specific design purposes.
Initial Time Investment
The process of identifying and merging duplicates can be time-consuming, especially in projects with many symbols.
Potential for Errors
There's a risk of incorrectly merging symbols that are not exact duplicates, leading to unintended design changes.
Learning Curve
Users need to learn how to effectively use the tool, which might require some initial adjustment and adaptation.

Ease of Use
Confetti for Adobe XD offers a user-friendly interface that integrates seamlessly with Adobe XD, making it easy for designers to create and apply confetti effects without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Time-Saving
By providing pre-designed confetti effects and customizable options, this tool can significantly reduce the time designers spend on creating decorative effects from scratch.
Customization
Users have the ability to customize the confetti to match their project's style, including options to adjust size, color, and density, allowing for a personalized touch.
Enhances Creativity
Confetti for Adobe XD can inspire creativity by providing designers with new ways to enhance their designs, making them more visually appealing and engaging.

Limited Customization Options
Despite offering some customization, the range might be limited compared to designing confetti effects manually, which may not satisfy all the specific needs of advanced users.
Potential Overuse
The ease of adding confetti effects may lead to their overuse, potentially cluttering designs and detracting from other important design elements.
Dependency
Relying on a third-party plugin like Confetti might create dependency issues, especially if the plugin is discontinued or not updated regularly, which could pose compatibility challenges with Adobe XD updates.
Cost
If there is any associated cost for using the full features of Confetti for Adobe XD, it might be a disadvantage for users or teams with limited budgets.
