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!

Export to Figma Make - Library
Best answer by Gayani_S
Hey
We've replaced the "Export to Figma Make" flow with a newer system called Make kits, so the option several people in this thread were looking for has actually moved, not disappeared.
Here's the current path to bring a published library's styles into Figma Make:
- Open the Figma Design file with your published library.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to the file name (top left).
- Select Use library in Make.
That opens Figma Make with your library automatically added to a new Make kit. From there you can finish assembling the kit (add guidelines, test it, etc.) and publish it so your team can use it too.
If you'd rather start from a Make file instead:
- Open a Make file.
- Click Settings in the top-right corner, then Create a kit.
- Choose Assemble your kit, select Library on the left, and pick your published library from the list.
A couple of things worth double-checking if you still don't see the option:
- You'll need a Full seat with edit access to the library's source file. Dev and Collab seats won't see this.
- The library needs to already be published (not just used locally in one file).
For the full walkthrough, including publishing your Make kit once it's assembled, take a look at Get started with Make kits and Bring style context from a Figma Design library to Make kits.
Let me know if it's still not showing up after that, happy to dig further!
Hey
Let me walk you through the steps to troubleshoot this issue.
To export a library for Figma Make, you'll need to:
- Open your Figma Design file that contains the library you want to export
- Select the Assets tab in the left sidebar
- Click Libraries
- Find your file in the "This file" section and click Publish to open the library publishing modal
- If the library isn't published yet, click Publish at the bottom of the modal (only published libraries can be exported to Figma Make)
- 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
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
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
Surely I'll add share@figma.com to the file which has the library with can edit access.
Thank you!
Has the problem been resolved? I'm having the same problem and haven't found a solution yet!
Hey
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.
Hey
Hey
Hey
I have added supportshare@figma.com to the file.
Could please update me with where to share the library link?.
Thank you!
Hey
That way the Technical Quality team has everything in one place and can continue investigating without delay.
Thank you for your help!
Hi! Found this thread and I am having the same issue. I tried all of the steps above and its still not showing up in the Exported Libraries section in Figma Make. Is it possible to also open a support ticket on my end? I tried on desktop mac app and browser and same issue in both.
Thanks!
Hi there, Celine from Figma here, working closely with Gayani. Thanks for flagging this! Since you’re still seeing the issue after trying those steps, the best next step is to submit a bug report so our team can investigate your specific setup.
As a gently reminder, please also note that you also need Full seat with edit access to the library's source file to export it (You can read more)
To submit a bug report : Go to the Support Hub / Click Start a chat / Type “Report a bug” / Include your impacted file with support-share@figma.com and grant "Can View" access. This allows us to reproduce the issue and investigate Thanks!
