I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around color variables in Figma Slides. 

Here’s my expectation:
We have a component library file in Figma Design with colors variables and text-styles (which are also powered or “constructed” by variables). I’d like to create a new slide template for our product/company and would like to have maximum efficiency by just re-using what is already there and connecting the existing variables and text-styles in the Figma Slides feature. But it seems like this is not working?

Here’s what’s happening:
When I’m adding our component library file under Assets I get the option to pick a color for fills and text and switch to Libraries where my added library styles come up. But instead of linking this variable (such as in Figma Design), Figma Slides seems to create it’s own? So a separate color entity that just takes the values of the variable once, but will never update if I publish library updates.

LOL? Why? Am I missing something? Am I holding it wrong? If it is intended like this and works as expected: I’m sorry, but this is completely useless and I’d shocked. We designers want to have ONE definition of styles somewhere and not create multiple silos of information and styles to have dozens of inconsistencies.
