How Do You Use Figma Library?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:53 pm

Figma libraries are a great way to organize your design system and keep your team aligned on design standards. But how do you actually use them?

There are a few different ways to use Figma libraries. The first is to create a library from scratch.

To do this, go to the File menu and select “New Library. ”

You can also add an existing file to a library. To do this, go to the File menu and select “Add to Library.”

PRO TIP: Figma Library is a tool that allows you to store and share design elements between Figma files. It is important to note that Figma Library is still in beta, and there are some known issues that may occur when using this tool. Additionally, it is important to be aware that Figma Library is not intended to be used as a backup tool, and any changes made to elements in a library will not be reflected in other files that use those elements.

Once you have a library created, you can add components to it. To do this, go to the Components panel and select “Create Component.”

You can also add an existing component to a library. To do this, go to the Components panel and select “Add to Library.”

Once you have components added to a library, you can use them in any file. To do this, go to the Components panel and select “Use Component.”

Libraries are a great way to keep your design system organized and your team aligned on design standards. Here’s how you can use them in Figma.
