Been using Figma professional tier for 5 years. I know that “organizations” can have default libraries.


I work between 3 teams using 10 libraries. When I create a new file, I always have to enable and disable libraries.


The libraries that are active seem random, what is Figma doing to determine which of these libraries are enabled or not when creating a new file? Is there any way to manage this default setting in professional?

I have issues with the library auto adding “not my library”.


In my case, I have two product libraries and a shared Icon library. When I “Duplicate” a file, as a user, I FULLY expect the file to be duplicated with the associated libraries…


But instead It gives me a wacked file with iOS, Material, and Simple Library libraries that have NO ASSOCIATION to the assets in the duplicated file, thus screwing with my file and assets. I am creating dev handoff files and product exploration files all day long and every single template duplication has to be messed with for the correct assets in the new file.

Wahoo! Figma chat bot helped me fix it. (hate to say a bot helped but I have to be honest… lol


To remove Figma’s prepackaged UI kits permanently:



  1. Open your team or organization space in the file browser.

  2. Select “Admin” from the left sidebar.

  3. Open the “Settings” tab, and go to “Resources” > “UI kit”.

  4. Use the toggle to disable the UI kits feature.


You can still manage team libraries with UI kits disabled:



  • Open your team in the file browser

  • Select “View settings” from the team name dropdown

  • Click “Enable libraries” under “Libraries” or “Shared”

  • Choose which internal libraries to make available in different file types


This allows you to manage your custom team libraries independently of the UI kit feature.
