We’re excited to ship the largest update we’ve ever delivered to the copy library. This update includes critical features that will help you build and structure your library quicker, and use it more efficiently on the go.
Here's what's inside:
➕ Create blank categories. We've added the option to add categories and subcategories from scratch! This allows you to strategize your library's structure and build its backbone using categories, even before you have any components.
⚡ Category suggestions in attach box. This feature allows you to quickly find the right category when you create a new component using the attach/create box. Additionally, we’ve added the option to create the component by pressing the Enter key.
🗑️ Delete categories. Categories can be deleted, finally. Using this one, you can clean up your library and prevent drop-downs in Frontitude display ghost categories.
🔍 Category filter bar. If your category tree has grown extensive, this new filter in the library navigation bar will help you quickly locate the category you're looking for, regardless of its level within the category tree.
🗄 Collapse categories. Reduce clutter and enhance focus when browsing content in your library by collapsing categories. The collapsed state is saved, allowing you to customize your library view.
🗂️ Uncategorized components tab. Access all your uncategorized components in one place. Use it as a starting point to organize and categorize your components efficiently.
🔠 Category names are case insensitive. It means that “Buttons” equals “buttons” when referring to categories. No more forgetting how you named a category and accidentally creating a duplicate. From now on, using “Buttons” and “buttons” (or any name) will refer to the same category.
⬅️ RTL support for category notes. Whether you prefer writing your notes in Arabic, Hebrew, or any other RTL language, you can now enjoy proper display and formatting.
We've also mixed in a few improvements and squashed a few bugs:
- 🐞 Fixed: Attach search box doesn't support components' library path (categories)
- 🐞 Fixed: Locked layers in Figma prevent content from being synced
- 💫 Create a new component from the attach/create section by pressing Enter
- 💫 Empty categories are displayed in the copy library
- 💫 Category nav bar indentation has been increased to highlight the hierarchy between categories
- 💫 Attach search box is case-and-space insensitive for smoother category search experience
- 💫 If Figma frames turn into components, texts are migrated instead of getting deleted
Hope these updates will elevate your copy library workflows to a whole new level!
