About this plugin

Enter the name of the Component Instance or Style you want to look for and the plugin will search for it across all pages, resulting in a list of all finds that allows you to go to the finds and/or detach them individually.


Use Case 1: Remove missing libraries

  • View missing libraries via Assets > Library (Book Icon). You'll see Includes X missing libraries at the bottom when you have missing libraries, click it to view the components and styles in use from missing libraries. 
  • Open the Missing Library Usage Finder plugin, enter the names of the styles you want to search for, separated by line-breaks.
  • Press Search, note that this might take a while for larger design files.
  • If the plugin finds uses of the styles or components they get listed below and you can navigate to the find and/or unlink/detach it directly.


Use Case 2: Unlink unwanted library

  • Open unwanted library, e.g. via Assets > Library (Book Icon), then hover over the library name and click Open File
  • Once in the unwanted library open the Library Style Detail Extractor plugin and click Extract Names, and then Copy Names to Clipboard
  • Go back to the initial design file, open the Missing Library Usage Finder plugin
  • Paste the copied names and click Search. Note that this might take a while for larger design files.
  • If the plugin finds uses of the styles or components they get listed below and you can navigate to the find and/or unlink/detach it directly.
