Shortcut to publish library and automatically update files

My team and I are currently having the inconvenience of having to publish our library every single time we make even a small change (like a font size increase, color change, etc.) and then switching to the working file and manually updating the library. Due to the nature of the project we do this quite frequently and having to publish – switch file – update every single time to see the changes in our designs turns out very time consuming if you add it up.

It would be amazing if Figma could integrate a shortcut for automatically updating a library and automatically updating the files it is being used on (like a cmmd+S shortcut!), of course not everybody might want to have this so it would also be nice to be able to turn this shortcut on and off.

I would love this. I hate having to publish over and over.

I see that Figma isn’t going to do this, despite its popular acclaim

Our SaaS product has a published design system that the team uses regularly.
However, it is crucial that the team updates the published library each time changes are made to the design system. If this step is missed, it can lead to inconsistencies and discrepancies in the product.

To prevent these issues, Is is possibility to creating a feature or setting that would allow for automatic updates to the design system whenever changes are made. This would streamline the updating process and help ensure that the team is always working with the most recent and accurate design components.

perhaps this feature is not desirable for design teams, so it can be configured at the team level

Jumping on the (stalled) train here. Is there any sort of workaround/plugin that anyone is using to currently solve this problem? We would also like to auto-accept/update files after a component has been (re)published.

I’d like this feature request to become a reality too. It’s tedious to have to click so many times to apply updates from the library to the target file/s.

Thanks!
