-### Utilizing design tokens
+### Use design tokens
 
 The exported zip file includes the following files:
-  - `css-variables.css`: The css-variables.css file contains CSS variables for both light and dark themes, directly derived from your Figma designs. You can easily import this file into your application alongside the component styles to reflect your custom designs. 
-  - `<theme-name>-tokens.json`: This file (e.g., material3-tokens.json) contains style variables and values in a JSON format compatible with [Theme Studio](./theme-studio). This file, prefixed with the corresponding theme name, can be [imported](./theme-studio#import-previously-changed-settings-into-the-theme-studio) into [Theme Studio](./theme-studio) for further customization. After processing in [Theme Studio](./theme-studio), you can [download](./theme-studio#download-the-customized-theme) the updated styles file and integrate it into your application, bringing your custom themes to life.
