Before you start
Who can use this feature
Available on any paid plan.
Team admins or anyone with can edit access to the file can unpublish a published library.
New to component libraries? Check out our Guide to components and Guide to libraries articles.
If you maintain a library of styles, components, and variables, you may need to unpublish a library. This means anyone using this library will no longer be able to access the library or receive updates to its styles, components, and variables.
- Open the file that you want to unpublish. Make sure you select the library file where your main components and styles are located.
- Go to the Assets tab and click the Library icon. The tooltip may read Review library updates if there are updates to libraries you are using in the file, or Review unpublished changes if you have unpublished updates in your file.
- Select the This file section and click on the current file to view the styles, components, and variable collections in the library.
- Click the Unpublish button at the bottom of the modal.
- Click Remove File from Library to confirm. Figma will remove that file and any styles and components from the library modal.
Note: Team members can still use instances from an unpublished library. They will no longer receive any updates made to those instances.
