Before you start

Who can use this feature

Anyone on any team or plan can enable libraries for files in their drafts.

From your draft files, you can access style and component libraries from any teams of which you're a member.

Tip: If you're in an organization, you'll get access to any organization-wide libraries in your drafts. You can also choose which other organization libraries you want to access in your drafts.

Manage libraries

Manage which libraries are available in your drafts from your account settings. You can choose to make libraries available in Design files, FigJam files, or All files.

  1. Click your name in the top-left corner to open the account menu.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Under the Library heading, select Enable Libraries for all files in your Drafts.
  4. View a list of available libraries in the library modal. In your drafts, you can view and enable:
    • Styles from published libraries in your drafts or Starter teams.
    • Styles and components from published libraries in any Professional and Education teams.
    • Access styles and components from organization-wide libraries.
    • UI kits that you have access to.
  5. Click the library name to view the styles and components in that library.
  6. Click Off next to the library.
  7. Choose which files to make the library available in:
    • Design files
    • FigJam files
