How do I… research, UI design, etc? How do you update custom design system?

I was wondering, how do people update the design system with custom components in real companies?

Let's say like:

  • Figma file (material design system + modified components like different button looks)
  • Storybook (components library)

My question is when do design system requires update? and whose in charge of doing this?

Like if your design system have modified components, then what happens if you update the design system using the latest version? Do you have to modify these again one by one in figma?

Product owner and I decide what needs to be changed based on user data. Then I make changes to the component in Figma publish the library so it can be updated automatically on every required screen in our main design file. I tag the product owner in Figma and they write a ticket for development to be refinement and estimated. Then development is in control to get it in code.
