How to upgrade the Telerik and Kendo UI Kits for Figma to newer versions and keep my custom styles?
Progress regularly releases new versions of the Telerik and Kendo UI Kits for Figma. These new versions may include designs for new components or even some structural changes in the UI kits. To take advantage of such updates, you can upgrade your current version of the Telerik and Kendo UI Kits for Figma and keep all your custom styles.
Solution
To upgrade to newer versions of the UI kits while keeping your styles, download the free InstaRelinker tool that is available as a plugin in the Figma community. With this tool, you won’t have to manually swap instances and replace remote with local styles.
The InstaRelinker plugin enables you to re-link nested remote instances and styles within selected local main components to their local equivalents. When the plugin runs, it scans the current Figma file for local main components and automatically re-links any remote instances with names that match a local main component. If the plugin doesn't find a match, it allows you to manually select the local main component for each remote instance and re-link it. The InstaRelinker applies the same process for remote styles.
