Figma updates: Yokohama release

[Henrik Hiort]

The Now Platform® Yokohama release introduces updates to the platform that help you put AI to work with new AI agents and more automated workflows. Explore the release notes to learn what's new.

On the Figma community, the Yokohama release includes the following enhancements:

• Updated Employee Center libraries with support for Figma variables
• Updated Workspace and Native Mobile libraries with the latest Yokohama updates

We're also introducing two new libraries:

• Workspace Now Assist components - Use in combination with our Workspace components and template libraries to design your own Now Assist experiences. Keep an eye out for even more content about designing for AI coming soon to Horizon!
• Customer Portal components and variables - Our new Customer portal library comes complete with components and templates that allow you to easily customize and design your own Customer portal experiences.

To start using the latest libraries, duplicate them into your Figma team and swap them into any files using the previous versions. Check out the Getting Started Guide in each library for more detailed instructions.

Hello. I am trying to utilize the 

Employee Center -> Templates

and I have the 

Employee Center -> Components and Variables 

Workspace -> Components and variables (Community)

Core UI -> Icons (Community)

all activated Libraries in the same project folder.

However, when I try to go to any master component in the Employee Center Template

I get an error 

"You don't have access to that file"

I was following the instructions in the read me 

I am using Yokohama Release, and yes I have a full Figma license.

Hi @PabloG307561724 ,

To connect the Employee Center templates to your own Figma library, you will need to link the templates to the local component libraries you have published. To do this, please check the Swap style and component libraries documentation on Figmas help page.

Hope this helps!

Hello Henrik

thanks for getting back to me

yes I did swap styles but I still have many instances of missing libraries.

I am starting from zero. no previous files. starting with the newest design system you have.

I downloaded all the figma files (your documentation on this isn't that clear on what files one really needs)

I am designing for the Employee Center

downloaded all the files and libraries and remapped them

still getting errors. It is hanging or not finding libraries

has anyone been successful using Yokohama system from scratch?

What figma files do I specifically need for the Employee Portal?

Hi @PabloG307561724 

Thanks for the screenshots and feedback. It seems like your libraries are linked correctly. For the library with "secondary button" shown, are you able to swap that one with your local published library?  The second screenshot you shared is our internal library, which you do not need to relink. All the libraries you need are outlined in the library's Getting Started guide. 

There might be some issues, as Figma does not currently support swapping libraries with variables. So, you will need to use a plugin. I recommend using this plugin to help connect the variables from your published library to the templates.

Hope this helps,

Henrik
