Hello, Figma Community!
I’m exploring the process of duplicating an existing library within my team and have several questions about how this impacts both the original and the duplicated libraries. I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!
- Notifications to Team: When I duplicate a library, does the team receive any notification about this new duplicate?
- Connection Between Original and Duplicated Libraries: After publishing the duplicated library, is there any link or connection back to the original library? In other words, does the duplication process create any dependencies or ties between the two?
- Impact on the Original Library: By duplicating a library, is there any risk of altering or damaging the original library in any way?
- Preservation of Library Elements: Does duplicating a library ensure that all variants, functions, and components from the original library are carried over? More importantly, will these elements function as intended in the duplicated library?
- Updates and Independence: If I update either the original library or the duplicated one, will these updates affect the other library? My understanding is that they should remain independent, but I would like confirmation.
Your feedback and guidance on these points would be greatly appreciated, as I want to ensure a smooth workflow for my team and maintain the integrity of our design systems.
Thank you in advance for your help!
