When someone publishes an update to a main component, style, or variable in a library, Figma makes the updates available in every file where the component, style, or variable is used.
Anyone with can edit access to a file can review and accept the changes.
View available updates
View all updates
When updates are available for a style, component, or variable on the current page, the Libraries icon in the top toolbar will display a blue badge.
Note: The Libraries icon will also display a blue badge if you have made updates to a library resource that need to be published. Learn more about publishing updates to libraries →
To view all available updates in the file:
- Open the Libraries panel by doing one of the following:
- Click the Libraries icon in the top toolbar.
- Select the Assets panel from the left sidebar, then click the Libraries icon.
- Switch to the Updates tab. By default, the Updates tab displays only assets on the current page.
The Current page tab only shows updates for assets on the page you're currently using.
When you select Update all, or Update for an individual asset, if the asset exists on other pages, those instances of the asset are also updated. Instances of the assets on other pages are updated regardless of whether you're viewing the Current page tab or the All pages tab. -
To see the pending updates for assets on all pages, click All pages. If the file is large or there are a significant number of assets to update, the list may take a few moments to load.
-
Click an asset to review and accept the updates.
View updates to a single component or style
When you select a component instance or a layer using a style or variable, an update icon will appear in the design panel if there is an update available. Click the icon to review the update, or immediately apply the update to the selected instance.
Review and accept updates
From the Updates tab of your Libraries, click on each update to review the changes.
- A By default, Figma shows a Side by side view of the change. You can switch to an Overlay view, which places the updated component, style, or variable on top of the current instance. The Overlay view has a slider to change the opacity of the updated component, style, or variable to visually compare the difference with the original.
- B If there are multiple instances of the updated component, style, or variable in the file, you can use the arrows to review each instance on the canvas.
- C You can update each instance individually, or update them all at once.
Note: You won’t be able to visually compare updates made to hidden layers in a component.
