Who can use this feature
Available on any paid plan
Anyone with can edit access to a file can accept library updates and apply them to styles and components in that file
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.
View available updates
You can view all updates at once, or view updates to a single component, style, or variable.
View all updates
When library updates are available, the Libraries icon on the Assets tab in the left sidebar 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:
- Click Review library updates on the Assets tab in the left sidebar.
- Select the Updates tab. By default, the Updates tab displays assets on the current page. Use the Show updates for all pages toggle to see all available updates.
- Click Update next to an individual asset, or Update all to apply all updates. Updates are applied to assets on every page of the file.
View updates for a single component or style
When you select an instance or a layer using a style or variable with an available update, an update icon will appear in the Design tab of the right sidebar. Click Update available and then select Update selected instance or Review update.
Review updates
You can review updates before applying them to instances in your file.
Click on an update from the Updates tab of the library panel or click Review update with an instance selected to review the changes.
By default, Figma shows a Side by side view of the change. Use the toggle to switch to an Overlay view, which places the updated component, style, or variable on top of the current instance. The Overlay view has a slide to change the opacity of the updated component, style, or variable to visually compare the difference with the original.
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. Click Update instance to update each instance individually, or click Update all to change them all at once.
Note: You won’t be able to visually compare updates made to hidden layers in a component.
