I have a problem where I have noticed that when a designer detaches a design and it is using hidden components within it, that it ends up decoupled from the library… I was always under the impression that since it is a component in the library, that if it was detached it would still be able to receive updates via these hidden components… I have realized this is not the case.
I think a new feature request should be made to allow hiding the components from the asset panel view (which is what people actually want from the hiding feature) without losing the link to the library.
If the feature intent is to not publish these components at all, I am not understanding why when we detach, why those hidden components don’t detach as well? This is what gave me the false notion that they would still be able to receive updates, since they are still an attached component -- but attached to the wind it seems...
Design system maintainers are not looking to not fully publish these components, but instead keep them hidden from the asset panel view so they are not misused.
