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.

Can’t wait to have this!


Pleeeeease add this! I spend so much of my day publishing and updating.


I really wish we could opt-in to auto-updates from specific libraries for specific files.


We have lots of design files that are on “maintenance mode”. They are required for occasional reference and should reflect our latest design system version, but they are not in active build or testing.


It would save so much time for designers during quarterly maintenance cycles for our artifacts. It’d be better for us to receive a cue that auto-updates have been applied, instead of waiting for a designer to enter the file in order to apply them. In the rare instance an auto-update caused a breaking change we could roll it back in version history.


The risk of a breaking change is low because we have a great design systems team. We spend the time on a great design system and standards for implementation to minimize risk during updates, so we shouldn’t have to spend more time making manual updates to each file (especially low-priority ones) when an update is published.


We really need this feature or at least a plugin!


+1. A feature/shortcut to quick-publish your library and a setting for files to auto-update (as I understand you don’t want certain files to update) would save so much time.


So irritating. It’s a super quick fix, guys.


still no sign on this 😦
