A number of small but impactful updates to the Webflow Libraries beta including color swatch support, search, and some user experience optimizations.

Updates to the Libraries beta

<p id="">At Webflow Conf in November <a href="<https://webflow.com/feature/marketplace>" id="">we introduced Libraries</a>, flexible collections of website layouts, vetted by Webflow, and designed by top Webflow creators. Since launching in beta, we’ve heard from the community about how easy Libraries make it to build and ship beautiful sites, in record time.</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:4800px" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="fullwidth" data-rt-max-width="4800px"><div id=""><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21d657_Updates-LibrariesQoL.jpg>" loading="lazy" id="" width="auto" height="auto"></div><figcaption id="">We're making some up small but impactful updates to the Libraries beta</figcaption></figure><p id=""> </p><p id="">Today, we’re introducing a number of small, but impactful, updates based on feedback and suggestions we’ve heard from the Webflow community over the past few months.</p><p id=""><strong id="">Here’s what’s new:</strong></p><p id=""><strong id="">Color swatch support</strong><br>Quickly style Library layouts using color swatches. Library creators can now include swatches–letting you easily update colors across multiple layouts on your canvas, as well as future layouts installed from that Library. <a href="<https://university.webflow.com/lesson/libraries#how-to-use-a-library%E2%80%99s-swatches>">Learn more</a></p><p id=""><strong id="">Search for layouts across your Libraries</strong><br>We’ve made it easier to find the type of layout you’re looking for by adding search functionality to the Layouts tab of the Add panel. Now you can search for types of layouts (such as nav bars, hero sections, footers and more) across Libraries, or within any individual Library, installed on your site.</p><p id=""><strong id="">Improved navigation</strong><br>The Add panel now remembers your last browsing location after adding a layout to your canvas–reducing the number of clicks it takes to quickly add multiple layouts from the same Library.</p><p id=""><strong id="">Improved layout previews</strong><br>You can now view an enlarged preview of a layout before adding it to your canvas by hovering over the layout in the Add panel.</p><p id=""><br>‍</p><p id=""><strong id="">Want to become a Library creator?</strong><br>We are planning to add a limited number of users to the Library creator program in the coming weeks. <a href="<https://webflow.com/libraries/submit>" id="">You can join the waitlist here</a>.</p><p id="">‍</p>
