Need a way to “get latest updates” or “subscribe to changes” from a published community file
In other words a way to branch to/from a Community file
Hi everyone,
I publish a design system (DS) to the Community and have frequent updates to fix issues and add/update components.
Community members duplicate this DS to their Organizational account to use in their own projects. They have reported to me that once they import the Figma file into their org and use it as a library they have no way of getting my latest updates easily and without breaking changes into their production design files that refer to the original “duplicated” file.
So it would be great if there was a way to publish “get latest” or “subscribe to changes” in a community file. (Instead of having to restart design file from scratch in the latest version of the Design System).
Librairies features are not an option as they are specific to an ORG and cannot be accessed through the community. And Swapping in this use case does not work well at all.
This would be great for everyone as it would allow Figma to always ship with latest official components from the big design systems from Apple, Google, Microsoft and any other design system available in the community.
(If it mean anything Sketch has had this feature for years now)
