Right now, if I paste in something with a color style from another Figma file, that specific piece maintains the style but I can’t apply that style to other things. When I go to add it as a style for the new file, it wipes out the name. It would be so much faster and easier if, when I hit the plus button to add the style, it maintained the name it already had (with the option still to change the name if I want).

My organization works with multiple clients so each “project” is a client. Then, within the project, there might be separate files for a website, social ads, emails, etc. that all use the same fonts and colors. Right now, we have to remake the styles for each of those files within the project. I imagine having a “brand guidelines” file with all of the colors, fonts, etc. Then we can copy over the pieces we need from the guidelines into the files we’re working on rather than having to remake the styles every time.

Alternatively or additionally, if there was a toggle to apply styles across all files within the same project, that could also improve continuity and reduce duplicating work.

I realize we could duplicate the file to cary over the styles and variables. But that feels like more of a work-around rather than an intentional solution.
