Question

Color and typography styles from library not showing


Rhian

I have created a file containing components and styles that I would like to re-use in other files, so I published the library. When I include the library in another file, all the components etc. show up, but not the typography or color styyles. What am I missing?

I’m having the same issue. Library is enable to show in all files, but in the file I’m working on only shows the library components but not the styles.

I would make sure the style name does not have . or _ prefix which hides it from publishing. You can also try making a small change on a color or text style such as add or change the description and try publishing again to see if that helps.

I’m having the same issue, I published the library, I can see the components but not the colors or the text styles. Has this been fixed?

Hi, it seems that they don’t show right away. But if i create a new text and select the 4 dots on text styles, it shows there. Same thing happens if I want to pick a color style. I hope it’s useful.

Thanks this worked!
Tho … I wish Figma did not nest the asset styles in the 4 dot icon - this was not intuitive.

I had the same issue. I removed and added the library again, and it worked!

I had a similar issue, and I found out that my variables were Hidden.

Those are the steps I took to solve it:

 

  1. Right click each variable that is not being published (you can bulk select them first).
  2. Click on "Edit Variable".
  3. Change to the "Details" tab.
  4. Uncheck "Hide from publishing".
  5. Publish your library again. 😊

You need to go from your Variables List.

You must know beforehand which variables are triggering the problem for you. 

Or you can bulk select all variables from your file and right click them to follow those steps: 
 

Step 1: right click the variable in your variables' list and select Edit Variable.
Step 2: uncheck Hide from publishing if it is checked.
