Re-Link Components after copying them to a new project

Hey @mabo, thank you for reaching out! I was not able to find any plugins on my side. However, I’ve reached out internally to the teams for any suggestions. Will give you an update soon.

Appreciate your patience in the meantime!

Hey @mabo, great to see a user left a suggestion for a plugin!

Could you clarify what connections you want to get, if you don’t have a library?
Also, could you download a local copy of the file from your personal account and re-upload it to the work one? When you do that, any components you have in the original file will become new components, and if there were instances in the original, those will connect to the new components.
You can find more information in the Help Center article: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/8403626871063-Save-a-local-copy-of-files.

Please let me know me know if that resolved your issue or if you have any further questions!

Hi Gayani, I tried your suggestion and downloaded the .fig file and re-uploaded the file as a draft. Now I changed the color of a component which is linked to a style/variable but no changes are applied. The component still is linked to the old project (see screenshot)

I only want to re-link all component and styles to their pendants in the file, not pointing to the old project file.

Thanks a lot, this of great help. It’s not that convenient but way better than updating and searching for things manually.
