Who can use this feature
When you disable the library, Figma will remove those components from the Assets panel and any styles from the style picker. As you still have access to the library, styles, components, and variables may still show up in your search results.
If you don't want those assets to show up in search results, you'll need to leave the library file where the main assets live.
Looking to unpublish a file or remove assets from your library? Check out our Unpublish a library and Remove styles and components articles.
Open the library file
Open a main component in the file it lives in from any instance. You can do this from a few different places.
-
1
Canvas
- Select an instance in the current file.
- Open the Design tab in the right sidebar.
- Click in the instance section to open the library file.
-
2
Assets panel
- Right-click on the component in the Assets panel.
- Select Go to main component.
Tip: If you haven't used the component in your file, you can temporarily add the component to your file, then use any of the Go to main component approaches above.
Leave the file
Note: You can only leave files you have explicit access to. If you inherited access through a folder or team, you need to leave that folder or team to remove your access.
If you own the library file, transfer ownership before leaving it.
- Open the file where the component lives.
- Click the Share button to open the file share modal.
- Find your name in the list of collaborators.
- Click on your current access level and select Leave from the options.
