How Do You Detach Master Component in Figma?

Detaching master components in Figma is a great way to customize and re-use parts of a design. It allows you to create variations of the same component quickly and easily. Master components can be used to save time and make sure a consistent style is maintained across all your designs.

To detach a master component in Figma, first select the component that you want to detach from the Layers Panel. Once selected, it will be highlighted in blue. Right-click on the component and select “Detach from Master” from the drop-down menu.

Once detached, the component will become an individual element and any edits made to it won’t affect other components using that master. To make changes to all instances at once you can use “Override” from the Layers Panel.

It is also important to note that some elements within a master component can be detached individually, while others will only be detached as one whole unit. You can tell which elements are part of a master by looking for the small “M” icon next to their names in the Layers Panel.

Conclusion: Detaching master components in Figma is an easy way to customize and re-use parts of a design. To detach a master component, simply select it in the Layers Panel, right-click on it, and select “Detach from Master” from the drop-down menu.

Once detached, any edits made will no longer affect other components using that master. Some elements within a master component can also be detached individually while others need to be detached as one whole unit.
