How Do I Add a Design Library in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:52 am

Adding a design library in Figma is a simple process that can save you a lot of time and hassle when working on design projects. There are two ways to add a design library in Figma: through the Libraries panel or by using the + button in the top-right corner of the canvas.

To add a design library through the Libraries panel, simply click on the “+” icon and select “Create New Library.” This will open up a new window where you can give your library a name and select a folder to save it in. Once you’ve done this, click “Create” and your library will be created.

To add a design library by using the + button in the top-right corner of the canvas, hover over the “+” button and select “Add to Library.” This will open up the same window as before, where you can give your library a name and select a folder to save it in. Once you’ve done this, click “Add” and your library will be created.

Once your design library has been created, you can start adding elements to it. To do this, simply select the element on the canvas and click on the “+” icon in the top-right corner of the element.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with design libraries or Figma, we recommend that you do not attempt to add a design library in Figma. Although it may seem like a simple process, there are many potential pitfalls that could cause problems for your project. For example, if you do not properly format your design library, it may not be compatible with Figma. Additionally, if you do not have the proper permissions, you may not be able to add a design library to Figma.

This will open up a new window where you can select which library to add the element to. Once you’ve selected the library, click “Add” and the element will be added to that library.

You can also add elements to libraries from other Figma files. To do this, open up the file that contains the element you want to add and select it on the canvas.

Then, click on the “..” menu in the top-right corner of the element and select “Add to Library.” This will open up a new window where you can select which library to add the element to.

Libraries are an essential part of Figma and can save you a lot of time when working on design projects. By adding libraries to your Figma account, you can easily access elements that you need for your projects without having to search for them every time.
