Why It Matters
A component library in Figma is a dedicated file containing all your main components, published for use across your organization. When you publish a library, team members can access components through the assets panel. Updates to the library propagate to all files using those components, creating a centralized source of truth.
Examples
1
A Core Library containing buttons, inputs, cards, modals, and other foundational components.
2
An Icons Library with 500+ icons organized by category, all accessible as components.
3
Separate libraries for mobile (iOS/Android) and web components with shared token foundations.
How BiblioKit Helps
OrganizeFile helps you set up properly structured component library files with consistent page organization and naming.
