How to maintain Library connection when exporting AI-generated designs from Figma Make Kits?

I’m currently setting up a custom Figma Make Kit for our organization. My goal is to enable both designers and non-designers to generate consistent UI screens using our unique Design System through AI.

While the generation process is impressive, we often need to move the results into a Figma Design file for detailed iterations and final hand-offs.

Here is my core question: When we "Send to Design File," is there a way to ensure the generated components and tokens remain actively linked to our original Library (Design System file)?

For our workflow, it’s crucial that:

  • Non-designers can generate layouts that stay on-brand.

  • Designers can take over those files without losing the connection to the main library (to avoid manual re-linking or detaching).

Is there a specific way to configure the Kit or the export process to keep these library instances "live"? I'd love to hear how other teams are managing the bridge between AI-generated kits and their production design systems.

Thanks for your insights!
