When copying and pasting components from another project (Project 😎 to the one we are currently working on (Project A), it would be useful to give us the option to match and replace styles with the same name.


For example:



  1. For Project A I need to add a communication form on the “Contact Us” page.

  2. Since I have already worked on a similar form for Project B, I want to reuse the same form master component, instead of creating another one from scratch.

  3. For Project A I use color styles such as “Light Gray”, “Dark Gray”, “Icon color”. This is the same style structure I used for Project B as well.

  4. When I paste the component from Project B on Project A, Figma recognizes that I use the same naming system for my color styles.

  5. Figma then opens up a pop-up window with the following message: "These 3 color styles use the same name. Would you like to adjust and replace the newly added styles to the ones you are already using on “Project A name”? Yes/No/Don’t show again this messafe for this file.

  6. After I click “Yes” the color styles of the newly added component will be replaced by the ones I am using on Project A


This way I will not need to select and replace the styles manually to match them to my styleguide for Project A

+1 would be perfect to have!


Hey All, thanks for your feedback!


We’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.
