I’m working in Figma slides and I can use predefined variables and create my own. But I can’t edit them or find them anywhere in the current file, project or anywhere.
How do we edit variables in Figma Slides? It works fine in figma designs within the same project and other projects, but I can’t even see published variables from other files or projects while working in figma slides.
Please help someone, everyone, ANYONE!!!!
Question
Why can't we edit variables in Figma Slides?
Hey
- You can only add existing libraries to your Figma Slides deck. If the library includes variables, you'll be able to apply them to layers in your slides.
- But, you can’t edit or create directly from your Figma Slides. (This is why "Local variables" isn't available in Figma Slides)
- To change a variable (or make a new one), you need to open the original Design file where the variables live and edit them directly in your library Design file via "Local variables"
- After updating and publishing the library, the changes will appear in your Figma Slides deck.
Hope this clarifies!
