Understanding Shadcn Studio Figma System

Written by Abhi

Here's how our library system works:

Our team manages the library, so you don’t need to publish anything from your side. When we release new blocks or components, we publish them to the library, and you’ll receive a notification in Figma to update to the latest version. Simply accept the update to get the newest components in your designs.


It’s important to note that publishing libraries/pages is a Figma Pro feature. If you attempt to publish a page on a free account, Figma will prompt you to upgrade your plan (refer to the image below). However, since we manage the library centrally, you won’t need this feature for your workflow.


Understanding Figma Pro:

Let us clarify how Figma licensing works with our package.

Figma Access

If you’ve purchased our Figma package, you don’t need to purchase it separately from us. Figma itself is a free, open-source tool that anyone can use. However, Figma does offer Pro features that require a separate license directly from Figma.

Pro Features in Our Package

Our Figma package utilizes several Figma Pro features to give you the best experience, including 10 variable themes, published libraries, and many other advanced capabilities. To fully access and use these Pro features in our package, you’ll need to purchase a Figma Pro license directly from Figma.

Think of it this way: our package provides you with the design system and components, while Figma Pro unlocks the advanced functionality needed to work with those components at their full potential.
