How Do I Move a Component From One Project to Another in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:44 am

When you’re working on a design project in Figma, you may find that you need to move a component from one project to another. For example, you may have created a component in one project, but then realized that it would be more useful in another project. Or, you may have created a component in a shared library, but then decided that you want to use it in a different project. Whatever the reason, moving components between projects is a relatively simple process. Here’s how to do it:

1. First, open the project that contains the component you want to move.

Then, select the component from the canvas or the layers panel.

2. Next, click the “Move” button in the toolbar at the top of the screen. This will open a pop-up window with a list of all of the projects you have access to.

3. Select the project you want to move the component to from the list, then click the “Move” button. The component will be moved to the selected project.

4. If you want to move multiple components at once, you can select them all before clicking the “Move” button. You can also use this method to move components between libraries.

Moving components between projects is a quick and easy way to keep your design projects organized and tidy. By moving components into shared libraries, you can also make sure that they’re available for future projects. So next time you need to move a component from one project to another, remember these simple steps.

PRO TIP: There are a few things to keep in mind when moving components between projects in Figma:

– Make sure you have the correct permissions to both projects.
– Keep in mind that any changes made to the component in one project will be reflected in the other project.
– Be mindful of any dependencies that the component may have on other elements in the project.
