Question

Feature Request: Show Variable Usage Count

Subject: Feature Request: Show Variable Usage Count

 

Hello Figma Team 👋,

I have a small suggestion that could improve designers' productivity.

Please add a usage count for each Variable (Design Token) in the Variables panel. This would show how many times a variable is being used, so designers can quickly understand which variables are in use and which are not.

This would help with:

  • Finding unused variables
  • Cleaning up design systems
  • Avoiding accidental deletion of used variables
  • Saving time when managing tokens

I'm attaching a screenshot for reference.

I would be happy if you could reply to my feedback.

Thank you, and Happy Figma! 🎨✨

Zahid

Hey Zahid, we had exactly the same need! We’re developing Token Toolkit Pro, where Variable inspection and usage counts are free. You might also find the other free tools useful, including advanced search and filters, Alias-chain inspection, and detailed Variable information.

More features are coming soon, and since it’s still a very young plugin, feedback is always appreciated! 🙌
