Need a way to “get latest updates” or “subscribe to changes” from a published community file

I would like to be able to duplicate a community design file, publish it in my team and have it automatically update should the original author update the community file. Is there a script or a method that tracks of the version status of a community file and automatically replaces/updates the duplicated file in my team’s directory?

I have the same issue, I started a feature request you can vote on it here

I’m not sure, If that reasonable to be a feature, Maybe as a toggle to let it update automatically or not

Because when you can edit the copied file and made changes into a component and then that components gets updated from the author, How should it react? replace it?

I know there are people who just use the files, but there are also people who edit them.

As a option to make that choice, I Vote this. but if it wants to happen to everyone then it’s a hard No for me.

This would function exactly like branches currently used by design teams in Figma:

1. Publisher owns the Main Branch.
2. When changes occur in the Main branch all branches are notified and can opt in to the changes they want. Or just not update at all.

So no unwanted changes would pollute either Main nor your own personalized branch.

It could even be optimized into a second feature where branches could be submitted to the Main branch to crowd source work (like you already do inside your Org).

Sketch goes a different route where you just “get the latest” file from Apple to start your file from which is essentially the same as getting a file from the Figma Community. This works for small short term projects but not so well for long term stuff.

With the proliferation of community files and component libraries, this is a critical feature IMO

+1. This would be exceedingly helpful for our public design system UI kit where we have a large community of third party users who make apps on our platform.

+1 for this critical request.

+1 We need this badly as well.

Now that Figma has announced their Marketplace for Community files it becomes even more relevant as it may be more profitable to Subscribe to an asset and it’s updates then it would to have multiple concurrent versions on the community.
