Hello community,

I am currently testing out how publishing variables, styles and components works in Figma and I am wondering if there are any tools that the community has built for better managing the publications of these features.

I currently need to go through a large amount of pages that might have assets from remote libraries and I need to hide these assets from publishing. 

Currently the publish modal window offers a pinpoint / locate button for finding variants that have conflicting property values but it does not offer a pinpoint/locate button for jumping to a component that is in the list of components to be published. It also does not tag or identify any components as being part of a local library or a remote library.

Furthermore, the publish modal window offers the option to right click on a component to view a popup selector that offers to hide the component from publishing. When clicking on the popup to confirm the hide from publishing option the listed component jumps to a section at the bottom of the publish window. This section has a title called hidden and it behaves as a collapsible accordion. Within this section components that have a dot (.) at the start of their name are also listed as hidden. However the component that you choose to hide with the right click and confirm on the popup method does not receive a dot at the start of its name. There is also no way to jump to where these components are located in the file.

I have used some plugins that can find within a page components from a remote library, such as the imported components finder. However this plugin only searches a single page at a time.

Are there any other tools that are available for better managing these component details?

Thank you for your time and help.
