Can You Detach Master Component Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:33 pm

The short answer is no, you can’t detach a master component in Figma. Once you create a master component, it’s permanently attached to the frame it was created in.

You can, however, delete a master component. To do this, simply select the component and press the delete key.

If you need to make changes to a master component, you can do so by editing the component directly in the frame it’s attached to. Alternatively, you can edit the component in the Components panel. Simply select the component and click the edit icon (pencil).

PRO TIP: If you attempt to detach the Master Component in Figma, you will permanently lose all child Components that are associated with it. This could cause major problems in your design if you are not careful. Make sure that you know exactly what you are doing before you attempt to detach a Master Component.

It’s also worth noting that you can’t detach an instance of a component. So if you create an instance of a master component and then try to detach it, nothing will happen.
