I have several issues with my library and as I don’t expect any solutions here I wanted to drop them as I see forums flooded with issues concerning libraries and components – so I hope this raises awareness for these problems at Figma.
- I tried to hide components from publishing – this is only working for some and for others not for no comprehensible reason (yes, I checked if all properties are used within the component as I know this can cause issues).
- The library does NOT deflect the structure I have in the source file, e.g. naming conventions of pages or on which page components are sitting
- Random updates: I update the library and 2 seconds later it shows me again that there are updates for changes I allegedly made minutes or even hours ago, in the source file as well as in the files I added the library to – feels just very buggy
- When I add new components I am sometimes not offered to update the library.
I experience these behaviours for weeks now and I’m slowly sick of it. I need to be able to reuse my components in other files correctly.
