Find templates and tools from your organization
You can access your team or organization’s internal resources under Templates and tools.
Your paid plan determines the types of internal templates and tools that are shown:
| Plan | Buzz | FigJam | Slides | Plugins | Widgets |
| Professional | ✓ | X | ✓ | X | X |
| Organization | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Enterprise | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Select a template category to view only those types of resources, organized by team. Click a template to open it in a corresponding file type, or click a plugin or widget and choose a file to open.

Find templates and tools from Community
The Figma Community is a space where people, teams, and organizations can share and discover files, templates, plugins, and widgets. Resources in Community are sorted based on their categories and tags. You can search using the category drop-downs and sub-categories, or the Search bar in the top right corner.
While users on any plan can browse through Community resources, access to specific templates and tools will depend on their plan type.

Manage Community search access
Admins on an Organization or Enterprise plan will have the ability to manage access to Community resources from the file browser. This setting can be useful for admins to ensure that their team is using only brand-approved resources.
Community resources will be turned on by default. If an admin turns the toggle off, access to Community resources will be restricted and their team will see a "restricted access” message in the From Community section of Templates and tools.
To manage access to Community resources in the file browser:
- From the file browser, click Admin in the left sidebar.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Under Resources, toggle Community Resources on or off.
With the toggle off, users can still access the Community through https://www.figma.com/community. They will still be able to use Community resources, but won’t see them under Templates and tools in the file browser.
