Hello everyone,

I am a beginner in Figma and I would like to know if it is possible to copy / paste a component from one file to another while keeping / copying the styles associated with this component (text, colors, effects)?
When I cut and paste a component from one file to another, it works, but the styles are not transferred locally.
My idea is to copy/paste a complete, local UI Kit into a Figma file.

With cut/paste, I’m forced to cut/paste the styles and link everything in my new file. It’s time-consuming!

If I publish the Kit UI library, as soon as I modify a component it’s reflected everywhere. As my projects are all different, this poses a problem.

Thanks in advance for your help

Have a nice day!

Tom

If you copy the main component, it will be placed as a main component in the new file. If you copy an instance, it will use the linked styles from the old file (like your description)
