If you’re working on a design team, chances are you’re using Figma to design your products. And if you’re using Figma, you should be using a team library.
A team library is a collection of design elements that your team can use in their designs. It’s like a shared style guide, but for Figma.
Creating a team library is easy. Just create a new file and click “Create new library” in the left sidebar.
Then give your library a name and description. You can also choose to make it public or private. Public libraries are viewable by anyone, while private libraries can only be viewed by people who have been invited to the team.
Once you’ve created your library, it’s time to add some elements to it. To do this, simply select the element(s) you want to add and click the “Add to library” button in the top bar. You can also add elements to your library from other Figma files by clicking the “Add from file” button.
Now that you’ve added some elements to your library, it’s time to use them in your designs. To do this, simply select the element in your library and click the “Insert” button. This will insert the element into your design at the current cursor location.
You can also use the “replace” function to replace an existing element in your design with an element from your library. To do this, select the element you want to replace and click the “replace” button in the top bar. Then select the element from your library that you want to use as a replacement.
Creating a team library is a great way to keep your designs consistent and make sure everyone on your team is using the same elements. It’s easy to set up and use, and it will save you time in the long run. So what are you waiting for? Create a team library today!
