Accessing our Figma library

Our Figma library can be accessed by following these steps.

• In a design file, select the Assets tab in the left sidebar next to File
• Select the Libraries icon to open the libraries window
• Under Browse libraries, select Your organization
• In the search field, type rhds
• Select the Add to file button next to RHDS component library - vX.X.X to enable the library
• Close the window and you should see our library under All libraries in the Assets tab
• You are now ready to use RHDS components, patterns, and more

Warning

You need a Figma license and a redhat.com email address in order to access our Figma library.

Access for agencies

If you work for an agency, but do not have a redhat.com email address, email us.

Accessing other libraries

There are other Figma libraries available to use. The process of enabling them is the same as above.

Library name	Use case
Red Hat Design System	Use this library if you are creating digital experiences for Red Hat web properties.
Red Hat brand library	Use this library if you need access to Red Hat icons and logos.
PatternFly	Use this library if you are creating product user interfaces.

Subsystems

Subsystems are small Figma libraries that include only patterns. They are purpose-built and tailored to support specific projects or teams.

Contact us if you think you need a new subsystem created.

Detaching and library updates

Be careful about detaching components and patterns because you will not receive notifications about updates when the main library is published. They are technically out of date as soon as you detach them.

If you think any part of a component or pattern needs something added or edited, create a GitHub discussion.
