Limitations
Because of the way how Figma and the Unite UX Plugin for Figma operate, currently it is not possible to safely export design assets from multiple Figma files to a single Unite UX project.
Consider the following case:
You start the development of a new design system and you place all components in a single Figma file.
You hand off the component design and export the design assets to a Unite UX project.
A second designer on your team creates a new Figma file with SVG icons for your design system.
-
The second designer tries to export the SVG icons to the same existing Unite UX project and sees the following message:
If the second designer overwrites the existing assets, the Unite UX plugin will replace some of the previously exported design assets with the newly exported SVG icons. As a result, the collaborators in Unite UX will have no access to the previously exported design assets.
To avoid overwriting exported design assets, always export frames from the same Figma file.
