Welcome to the Masala Design System (or MDS as we call it). If you’re just starting out designing with MDS, here is a checklist of everything you need to get up and running.
First and foremost, sign in to Figma using your organization account.
Duplicate the files from the Figma community.

Note: You will not be able to get real-time updates as the duplicate instance of the library is not connected with the main library file available on the community.
Publish the duplicated files as libraries in Figma in order to make them available for use in your organization.

Masala Design System is a set of guidelines, components, and patterns to speed up product design and development. In order to design and build products on top of Innovaccer’s platform, go through the Foundations section to get familiar with the design principles, colors, layouts, typography, etc. that are used throughout our products.
For any component or pattern that you want to use, there is a respective guideline page which includes its overview, types, variants, states, usage guidelines, etc. It is crucial that you get familiar with these when incorporating the components/patterns in your designs.
There is a separate section for voice and tone guidelines which should be referred for concise and consistent copywriting.
If you have any question or feedback about any aspect of the Masala Design System, feel free to reach out to us via email or on twitter.
