Connect Libraries to Slides

This is MUCH needed. Our libraries contain already established typography and color styles that we use throughout our product and branding. Being able to link these styles with Slides presentations would GREATLY help our marketing and sales presentations look polished. The sales and marketing teams could focus more on the content and the branding and design teams can spend less time we styling everything once the presentation is done.

Yes, components in libraries are not necessarily helpful here, but color/type styles/variables are critical.

    Ok, the missing libraries are color- and text-only libraries. Turns out these kinds of libraries are not (yet) supported in Figma Slides. There’s another discussion on that topic here:

    I just put my foot in Slides and I am pulling it right back out, lol. To get to my color and typography style libraries is way too difficult. Even after selecting my color, I do not have a list of my styles with names I recognize that I can quickly select the next time. I suggest Figma return to the UI with Figma designers in mind.

    Was hoping it would be more like a merger of design mode and prototype mode.

      Same with the thoughts on how to use but even in Design Mode you have to change the way you interface with certain objects in your file. Makes some things more difficult than they should be IMO.
