Use this interactive demo to learn how to publish a shared component library in Figma.

Quick summary

Creating a Figma library lets your team share design assets and components across files by publishing a file through the Assets panel. You need an active Figma subscription to enable the Publish Library feature.


Steps

  1. Open Figma's project dashboard and find the file that contains your design assets.
  2. In the left-side panel, click the Assets tab.
  3. Tap the Libraries icon in the Assets panel.
  4. Click Publish This File to create a library filled with your design assets and components — ensure your Figma subscription is active to access this feature.

📌 Why this matters

Figma libraries allow design teams to maintain a single source of truth for shared components, styles, and assets across every project file. By publishing a file as a library, teams can enforce design consistency, reduce duplicated work, and speed up handoffs between designers and developers. This feature is essential for organizations scaling their design systems, making it easy to update components in one place and propagate changes across all connected files instantly.
