How to Use Components in Figma

Use this interactive demo to learn how to find and insert reusable components into your Figma design.

Quick summary

Figma components let designers reuse UI elements like buttons and objects across a project for faster, consistent design. To insert a component, open the Assets panel, select the component you need, and click Insert to place it on your canvas.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the bottom section of your Figma design canvas and click the Actions button.
  2. Tap the Assets tab to open the component library.
  3. Select the component you wish to use from the available options.
  4. Click Insert to add the component to your design canvas.
  5. The selected component is now added to your design and ready to use as a button, object, or any other UI element.

📌 Why this matters

Figma components are the foundation of scalable, consistent UI design — they allow teams to define reusable elements once and deploy them across every screen instantly. Using components correctly reduces design debt, speeds up handoff to developers, and ensures brand consistency across complex projects. For any designer working in Figma, knowing how to access and insert components from the Assets panel is an essential workflow that directly improves productivity and output quality.
