## Example Usage

### Use Case 1: Remove missing libraries

- View missing libraries via _Assets_ > _Library_ (Book Icon). You'll see _Includes X missing libraries_ at the bottom when you have missing libraries,

click it to view the components and styles in use from missing libraries.

- Open the _Missing Library Usage Finder_ plugin, enter the names of the styles you want to search for, separated by line-breaks.

- Press _Search_, note that this might take a while for larger design files.

- If the plugin finds uses of the styles or components they get listed below and you can navigate to the find and/or unlink/detach it directly.
