Before you start
Who can use this feature
Supported on any team or plan
Anyone can leave a library file.
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.
