I need help finding a solution to track component and style usage across multiple Figma files. Right now I have to go through each file manually which takes forever. I open every single file, check all the pages, then look at the library panel to see how many components and styles are being used. I also need to check if the design system library is actually turned on or not.
Does anyone know if there’s an automated way to do this? Maybe a plugin that can scan files and give me a report with these numbers? It would save me so much time instead of doing this boring manual work for every project file.
The Design System Analytics plugin works great for this. I’ve used it for months - it automatically tracks component usage across all files and spots unused ones for cleanup. Component Analytics is another solid option that focuses just on usage stats. Both beat manual checking by miles. The API approach works too if you’re into scripting, but these plugins are way easier for most people.
Same issue here! I use Figma’s analytics dashboard plus the Instance Inspector plugin. The analytics show component usage patterns across your org, but you’ll need to set it up first to get useful data. Instance Inspector tells you exactly which components are used where and catches when teams haven’t enabled the design system library properly. Pro tip: export your file data regularly to track usage trends. What you’re doing manually won’t scale once you have bigger teams or more projects.
I had this exact problem managing design systems across multiple client projects. What worked best was combining approaches instead of relying on one tool. I set up regular Figma REST API exports to pull component metadata - gives you raw numbers but needs technical setup. For daily monitoring, I enabled team library analytics in org settings. This provides ongoing visibility without manual work. Key insight: automate reporting too, not just data collection. I built a simple dashboard that pulls weekly data and flags files where the design system library isn’t enabled or components get detached frequently. This scales way better than plugins when you’re dealing with dozens of files across different teams.
have u tried Figma Tokens? i found em useful. but fr, using the Figma API might be the way to go. set it up once and it does the heavy lifting for u. gets all the data automagically!
i wrote a lil script using figma’s api too! only took me like half an hour to get goin. now i can gather all the usage data from components and styles in one go. way better than manually checking each file, trust me!
