How do designers log design decisions? How does a designer picking up a project from another designer find out why something is the way it is? 🤔

I would usually have notes in Figma or supplementary written documentation but probably the best thing is to ask.. Assuming that person is still around, I mean. Could also check session notes for crit sessions/things like that
If there's a concern about a specific aspect of the design that's usually something I would talk about 1:1 and document outside of Figma. I don't think XFN partners want to know the details about every single detail though (not to the extent of a designer) (c)
If I've worked off of something and the owner/creator isn't around, I think it usually comes down to your best guess.. But I don't think I've taken over something and was like "WTF is going on here" if I'm being honest lol
