About this plugin

About LayerSweep

Bulk Style Swap for Figma

LayerSweep helps you audit style usage, find detached formatting, and apply targeted swaps across large files.

What LayerSweep Does

LayerSweep scans selected pages in your file and groups results so you can act quickly:

1. Library (Local, Remote library, Detached Styles)
2. Type (Text, Paint, Effect, Color Variable)
3. Style → Page → Layer

From there, you can select exactly what to update and run swaps in bulk.

Core Capabilities

1. Scan selected pages with configurable scope (Instance, Component, Frame/Page)
2. Detect usage of text, paint, and effect styles
3. Detect color variable bindings in fills, strokes, and backgrounds
4. Surface detached and mixed formatting as dedicated groups
5. Filter, search, and jump to matching layers
6. Swap styles/variables with page and layer-level targeting
7. Undo the most recent swap operation from the plugin
8. Export the current scan as JSON

Variable Support

LayerSweep currently supports **color variables only**.

Supported swap paths:

1. Color variable → color variable
2. Color variable → paint style
3. Paint style (or detached paint) → color variable
4. Paint style → paint style

Text and effect styles swap within their own type.

Best Fit Use Cases

1. Design system cleanup - Find detached and mixed formatting quickly
2. Library migrations - Replace deprecated styles at scale
3. Token adoption - Move paint usage to color variables
4. QA before handoff - Validate style consistency page by page

Privacy by Design

LayerSweep processes your file data locally in Figma and does not send design content to external servers.
