Hello there, 

I’m facing an issue where when i publish my library and try to export it to Figma Make. The option of “ Export to Figma Make” does not seems to appear.

I’m on an education plan and I have double checked all the files. They are i the same education plan project.

Thanks!

Hey ​@Ayaan Ali, thanks for flagging this! 

Let me walk you through the steps to troubleshoot this issue.
 
To export a library for Figma Make, you'll need to:
 

  1. Open your Figma Design file that contains the library you want to export
  2. Select the Assets tab in the left sidebar
  3. Click Libraries
  4. Find your file in the "This file" section and click Publish to open the library publishing modal
  5. If the library isn't published yet, click Publish at the bottom of the modal (only published libraries can be exported to Figma Make)
  6. Look for the "Export for Make" button - this should appear after publishing

 
If you're not seeing the "Export for Make" option, here are a few things to check:
 

  • Do you have edit access to the library's source file? Only people with edit access can export libraries to Figma Make
  • Is the library published? The library must be published before you can export it to Figma Make
  • Are there components, styles, or variables in the file? If there are none, try creating at least one to see if the export option appears

 
Please see our Bring style context from a Figma Design library into Figma Make and Publish a library guides for more details.
 
I hope that helps, but please do let me know if you have any questions, or if there is anything else I can assist you with. Thank you!

Hello ​@Gayani_S , Thanks for your response.

I read all the troubleshooting methods you have suggested and double checked if I’m missing anything there. Certainly i have followed everything correctly.
 

  • The library I’m trying to export into Figma make is being created by me. So i think there is no restrictions there for me to publish the library or to export it to Figma Make.
  • And I have already published the library. And in other design files, the library is visible to use. But when i try to export the library to Figma Make. I do not see any option like usually users get to export their library to Figma Make
  • And yes in the library large amount of Styles and variables are present.

    Wish to hear back from you.
    Hope this issue will be resolved soon.

    Thank you!

Hey ​@Ayaan Ali, thanks for taking the time to double-check everything! 

I’ve gone ahead and created a support ticket on your behalf so the team can investigate why the Export to Figma Make option isn’t appearing in this case. Your ticket number is #1695649, for reference.

To help the team look into this more closely, could you please share a direct link to the library file, and Invite support-share@figma.com with can edit access? Just to note, adding a @figma.com email won’t affect your billing in any way.

Someone from the team should reach out as soon. Thank you for your patience in the meantime!

Hello ​@Gayani_S, thanks for your response.

Surely I'll add share@figma.com to the file which has the library with can edit access.

 

Thank you!

Hey ​@Mikael Meira, thanks for flagging this! 
Unfortunately, the community member did not follow up on their support ticket. But our team asked them for this information: 

 

Are you using the desktop app or the browser version of Figma? If you switch between the two, do you notice any difference?
If that doesn't seem to help, could you share screenshots or a brief video recording of the issue so I have a better understanding of what you're seeing? Please be sure to include the whole window, showing the properties and layers panels and relevant layers expanded to give me added context.

 

If you’re able to provide this info, I can get you connected with our support team.
