Use libraries in Figma Buzz

Add Figma Design libraries to your Figma Buzz files to access your team’s components, variables, and styles while creating assets. Using library assets helps ensure your assets are always in sync with your company's colors, fonts, and logos.

Add a library to your file

Admins can approve or enable libraries for your team. You can search for and add any libraries that have been made available to you.

To add a library to your Figma Buzz file:

1. Click Inserts from the left navigation bar.
2. Click Add library.
3. Search for the library name or browse available options.
4. Hover over a library and click Add to file.

Access library assets

After you add a library, you can use its components, variables, and styles in your Figma Buzz file.

Access components and variants

To add a component:

1. Click Inserts in the left navigation bar.
2. Choose from recently used components or select a library.
3. Drag a component onto the file.

If the component includes variants, you can switch between them:

1. Select the component.
2. In the inline toolbar, click Swap content.
3. Choose a variant of the component.

Apply styles and variables

If your library includes styles, you can apply them to text or objects in Figma Buzz.

Text styles:

1. Select a text layer.
2. In the inline toolbar, open the font dropdown.
3. Click Apply styles to view a list of available library text styles.

Color styles and variables:

Update a library

When a library component, style, or variable is updated, Figma notifies any file using those assets. To reflect the changes in your Figma Buzz file, you'll need to accept the updates. Learn more about accepting library updates.

To review and accept updates:

1. Click Review design updates from the left navigation bar.
2. In the Manage libraries modal, click Update to accept an individual update, or Update all to accept all library updates.

Remove a library

If you no longer need to access a library, you can remove it from your Figma Buzz file.

1. Click Inserts from the left navigation bar.
2. Click Add library to open the Manage libraries modal.
3. Click Remove next to the library you want to remove.

The library will no longer appear in your available libraries list. Existing components already added to your file will remain.
