Little Big Updates Week 1: Assets panel improvements
Our team’s released assets panel improvements to help more users design consistently and efficiently with easier ways to search, browse, preview, and interact with the components you’re looking for.
- Filter results: Users can now filter assets by a specific library file, recently viewed, default libraries, and more.
- Better thumbnails: Assets panel thumbnails now appear larger and more visible.
- Component details: Component name is now shown by default. If the component has variants, we’ll also show the the variant count on thumbnail hover.
- Component modal and playground: Clicking on an asset opens up a component modal that displays a larger preview and link to main component file. Editors on Professional plan and up will also see a component playground where they can preview and interact with any variants, variable modes, or component properties.

I can’t seem to do this, even though I am in a Professional Team?

Hey @Luongnd & @Jolirouge, sorry for the trouble!
Our team is working on resolving image loading and rendering issues, which is why you may not see the new component modal. We’re working hard to get it back up ASAP and appreciate your patience!
We want to deliver the best UX possible and sometimes that means making sure these #littlbigupdates don’t have #littlebigbugs

We have now fixed the image loading and rendering issues and fully reinstated the component modal and playground!
If you were experiencing issues when viewing or inserting instances with images from the component modal, we recommend refreshing your browser/app. If there are existing instances with images missing, try selecting them and use quick actions (Cmd or Ctrl + /) to trigger Repair component connections.
Thank you again for your patience!

I have STUDENT/TEACHER plan, that modal features is not showing.
Hey there, when did you last refresh your app/tabs? Have you tried the solution listed above?
If you were experiencing issues when viewing or inserting instances with images from the component modal, we recommend refreshing your browser/app. If there are existing instances with images missing, try selecting them and use quick actions (Cmd or Ctrl + /) to trigger
Repair component connections.
Thanks for your prompt reply, I tried but, it did not work.
Thanks for the additional screen recording, @Imtiaz_Ahmed_Qazi!
Can you please send this over to our support team directly via this form for help? https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Be sure to use your Figma account email, include a link to the file, and share it with support-share@figma.com, so they can take a closer look.
I did but no result.
Little Big Updates Week 3: Fixes to make designing in Figma simpler
This week, LBU is all about simplifying how you design in Figma:
10. Select and copy from version history: Users are now able to select and copy items on the canvas while viewing version history. Learn more.
11. Copy link as Quick Action: Copy the URL of a file via Quick Actions.
12. Improved link paste treatment: When pasting links over existing selected text, you can now paste and match style so the text you’ve selected will be replaced by the url or email address you want to paste in, rather than auto-link-ifying the selected text. Learn more about this behavior in Figma and FigJam.
13. Better multiplier export settings: Exporting objects with a multiplier applied sometimes added an extra pixel to width and/or height. This will no longer occur.
Hey @Imtiaz_Ahmed_Qazi1, thank you for your patience!
Our team will be launching another fix specifically for EDU plans today - be sure to check your component modal sometime later today!
Please do let us know, if you’re still having issues.
Sure. Thanks a lot, let me check and I will get back to you.
