Rive Launches Libraries for Reusable Components

Rive introduces Libraries, letting creators publish components once and reuse them across project files, complete with version control and detach options.

Rive now offers Libraries, a feature that elevates how you manage shared design components across multiple files. It’s available to Voyager and Enterprise users.

Libraries address the limitations of previous workflows (nested artboards, copy-paste) that led to asset bloat, version drift, and confusion in team settings.

Core features:

  • Publish & reuse: Share components (with view models and properties) across files.
  • Versioning control: When a library is republished, consumers can preview changes and choose when or if to adopt updates.
  • Detach option: Detach a component when needed, your copy becomes local and stops tracking updates.
  • Production-ready export: Everything compiles into a single .riv file, eliminating external dependencies. Supports nested libraries and consistent export of assets like images, fonts, and audio.

This makes shared patterns, UI kits, creative asset packs, and character rigs safer, scalable, and easier to maintain.

Rive plans to expand Libraries with support for styles, typography, multi-project libraries, interpolation presets, and deeper scripting & data binding integrations.
