As a design system owner, I want to enable other users to easily rebrand the design system without having to duplicate the entire library file just to modify variables. By allowing users to view all remote/library variables and create local ones to overwrite them as needed, we can maintain a single, consistent design system as the base, greatly improving future maintainability.

Proposed Solution:

A simple addition to the interface could look like this:

With this menu entry, users would be able to easily view ‘Remote/Library Variables’. The values displayed would be ‘muted’, but users would have the option to click on them and set different values using the default color picker:

Once this feature is implemented, users would only see the variables they own under ‘Local Variables’, making the rebranding process much smoother and more intuitive.

Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would greatly improve the flexibility and usability of design systems within Figma.
