How to create a new component library file from existing components in another file in XD?

[dylanr96984752]

We currently have bunch of designs and components in a main design file that we've been working in. We want to be able to take all of those components out of this main file and transfer them to their own file which would result in a component library file.

I'm not sure the best way to go about this while ensuring any of the transfered components stay connected to the components in the main file we are desiging in.  Is this even possible? 

Thanks for any help!

HI dylanr96984752,

Thank you for reaching out, the transfered components may not be stay connected to the main file, the other alternative way is, Save main file as local file> Then copy paste to the new doc>  the copy pasted component are not linked components , instead they will become instances of the main component> Right click on the component> Edit main component> Main component will be shown in the copied document.
OR
Publish the main design file as Library> then you can drag and drop any components from the published library onto the new file.

Hope this helps.
