No export library button for Figma Make, also can't access import Figma file from Make

Been trying to figure this out for weeks. Not seeing any of our libraries in Make. Finally realized that the thing that looks like an ad is actually the UI for this. But my button is gray. Why is that?  

I’m having the same issue. The export button is greyed out. Hope solution will be available soon. 

Hi ​@Rob15 and ​@EmH, thanks for chiming in here! 

I understand how this must be slowing down your workflow. Can you please confirm what plan you’re on?

Most of the users with this issue above were on an EDU plan. If you’re not an EDU plan user, the button might still be grayed out due to your specific AI permissions on the file, depending on the team that the file is within. While we’re not able to assist with Account management here on the forum, if you’re not able to determine the cause with this information, please let me know. I can create a ticket on your behalf to have our support team take a closer look. 

Hello djv, according to my profile in Figma, it says I am on an org plan and have full seat. How do I/ where do I go to check the specific AI permissions on the file?

Hi ​@EmH, thanks for the additional information! 

I’m not sure if there’s a way for you to check this on your end. My team here on the forum isn’t able to assist with File Management, so I’ve created ticket #1729394 on your behalf to connect you with our support team. They can take a closer look on the backend to see what may be causing this issue. 

If you have any further questions, please reply to the support team directly via email. 

Hi, I have the same problem. what can I do? 

Hi ​@Piotr S., thanks for chiming in here! 

Is this happening with your own personal Make file? If so, are you able to share a URL link? 

If I’m unable to determine what is causing the issue, I can also help get you connected with our support team to investigate further.

​@Rob15 ​@EmH ​@Piotr S. I had same issue.. to start, you need to have at least one component in the file you’re publishing, simply having variables and/or styles will not work. (Seems like a flaw to me, I only wanted Make to reference a set of variables.)

Also you must make sure the library you’re publishing is enabled before trying to export to Make:

1. Get your account’s Owner to change your permissions from Can edit to Admin,
   Go to - All projects screen - Open team dropdown - View members 
   If you cannot get Admin access, get your account Owner to do the following themselves…
    
2. Turn team libraries you want to enable from Off to All files (or Design files). It’s the same location as part 1.  but click on: View settings - View team’s libraries - turn on which libraries you want Make to have access to.

   

    

Hi,

Same issue here.

• I’m on an Education Plan
• I’m the owner of the team, so this is not a “Can edit” issue
• my library is enabled to All files, such as suggested by ​@Dominic

Seems that this problem occurs only with Education Plans accounts…
Can you please help us ?

Thanks a lot :)

Hi ​@Simon Quemard MDS, thanks for chiming in here! 

I totally understand the confusion here, but the “Export to Figma Make” option isn’t available on the Education plan. While your plan has access to most Professional plan features, it still has some limitations around AI features.
 

Right now, some AI functionality, including bringing style context from a Figma Design library into Figma Make, is not supported due to AI permission restrictions. For transparency, there was an early rollout where a limited number of Education teams were granted access to AI features via a waitlist. Since your team wasn’t part of that initial group, you won’t see the “Export to Figma Make” option.

We appreciate you taking the time to flag this though. I hope this helps explain.

Hello,

I have a full seat, working as a designer at SAP. I have created this library, which I’ve published and I don’t see the “Export to figma make” to create a Make kit for Figma Make. I’ve tried all of the suggestions. I’ve restarted the program, made sure it was up-to-date, confirmed that I have a full seat, confirmed that AI settings were on for our team, ensure I was the editor permission on the library (IU created it). I can not figure out why I can’t see it. I need to import a figma design file into Figma Make as the component library resource.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Stevie
