Can't use figma library in Make anymore

Hi ​@Divyansh_Sharma, 

I understand you're looking for a way to select your library in Make as you did before the recent update.

With the introduction of "Make Kits," libraries are now brought into Make by being added to a kit. Unfortunately, there isn't an option to opt out of this new process at the moment.

When you select "Use library" in Make, it opens a new workflow where your library is added to a Make kit. You can find the full instructions in these help articles:

• Bring style context from a Figma Design library to Make kits
• Get started with Make kits

If you're curious about this update, our blog post is a great place to learn more:

Build with more context and more control in Figma Make

With these updates, exploration starts closer to your design context—allowing you to move faster and generate designs grounded in how your product works.

Thanks,

Hey ​@Junko3 

I understand that, but the point is I am not able to create any UI kit through the library and neither I am able to use my library as it is.

There are some files, where I can see my library (maybe as a UI kit) but in some i can’t see that

Hi ​@Divyansh_Sharma,

Thanks for the follow-up and for providing more details.

I tested this on my end and was able to select a library using the steps below:

1. Open a Figma Make file > Settings > Create a kit > Assemble a kit
2. In the “Assemble your kit” modal, select “Library” on the left, then choose a library from the list.
3. Click “Add selected.”

If your library doesn't appear in step 3, please ensure it has been published and that it contains styles or variables.
For more details, you can review our documentation again here:

• Get started with Make kits

I see that you are already working with our Technical Quality team on support ticket #1841398 about Make kits.
To resolve this as quickly as possible, the best next step is to reply to that ticket. Please let them know which step is failing for you and provide any steps to reproduce the issue.

Thanks,

Hey, ​@Sakhi Rana 👋 Thanks for the question. That is unexpected. Can you make a quick screen recording of you:

• Creating a fresh Make file
• Clicking the gear icon 
• Showing the options in the dropdown

Using a fresh Make file on a Mac using the desktop app, this is what I see:

Thanks for the additional details! — Jaycee

Ive got the same. I dont know how i can add my desing system to a Figma Make file, or make a UI kit.

Hey ​@Edep_NL, thanks for reaching out! 

A couple of things could explain what you're seeing:

• The Make file already has prompts or edits in it. Create a kit only appears in a file that's still completely untouched, once you start building, that option drops out of Settings.
• If you're a guest on an Organization account, guests currently can't create Make Kits regardless of seat type, only full members can.

If it's the first one, here's how to get a kit set up with your design system:

1. Open a brand new Make file (don't prompt or edit anything in it yet).
2. Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner and select Create a kit.
3. Choose Assemble your kit, then select your published Figma Design library from the list — make sure it's published and contains styles or variables.
4. Click Add selected, then publish the kit.

Once it's published, you can select it in any Make project going forward. If you've already got work built out in your original file, you can bring it over by downloading the code from there and uploading it into the new kit-enabled file.

For the full walkthrough: Get started with Make kits and Bring style context from a Figma Design library to Make kits.

If neither of these fits what you're seeing, feel free to reach out to our customer support team through our support hub, so we can take a closer look at your account.

Thanks for the reply!

After a few hours it finally worked. The previous method was way more easy to do.

Thanks for the help. 

Hey ​@Edep_NL, thanks so much for looping back and letting us know how it went!

Glad you got it working. Since a few other people in this thread (and probably future readers) are dealing with the same thing, I want to make sure I understand exactly what got you there:

• When you say the previous method was easier, do you mean selecting your Figma Design library directly in Figma Make the way it worked before Make Kits, or something else?
• And when you say it "finally worked" after a few hours, was that the kit creation steps from my last reply, or did you end up doing something different?

Knowing which one it was will make this thread a lot more useful for anyone landing here with the same issue down the line.

Thanks again for taking the time to report back!
