Detach Broken Links

About this plugin

Are you tired of the persistent "Missing Library" warning? Struggling to find that one layer holding onto a deleted variable or a style from an unlinked library?

Detach Broken Links is your dedicated cleanup assistant. It scans your selection to hunt down "ghost" styles and missing variables that no longer exist, helping you keep your design system clean and your files error-free.

Unlike other plugins that detach everything, this tool only targets broken links, ensuring your valid design system connections remain intact.

✨ Key Features:

🔍 Smart Detection: Instantly identify broken variables (Color, String, Number, Boolean) and missing styles (Text, Fill, Stroke, Effects).

🛡 Safe Cleanup: Only removes the link to the missing source while keeping the visual properties (hex codes, font values) applied to the layer.

⚡️ Batch Actions: Fix specific issues one by one, or use "Detach All" to clean up the entire selection instantly.

👀 Visual Preview: See exactly which layers are affected before making changes. Select the issue in the list to zoom into the problematic layers.

Perfect for:

Cleaning up "Ghost" variables before publishing a library.

Fixing files after swapping or deleting old libraries.

Preparing clean files for developer handoff.

removing "Missing Font" or "Missing Variable" errors.
