• Create and update Community profiles

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Anyone with a Figma account can create and update a personal Community profile.

  You will need to choose a profile handle and create a profile before you can like or follow resources in the Figma Community. You do not need a profile to duplicate files or install plugins.

  Create Community profiles for individuals, teams, or organizations to share files and plugins with the Figma Community.

  You can create Community profiles for each account you have, or add profile connections to use one profile across your Figma accounts.

  In this article, we're going to step you through creating a new Community profile for an individual, team, or creator.

  If you want to connect an existing Community profile to another account, please read our Manage Community profiles and settings → article.

  Note: If you're a team admin or organization admin, you may be able to publish to more than one profile. Who can publish files and plugins →

  Duplicate file

  Duplicate a Community file to add a copy of the file to your drafts folder. This duplicate is an entirely new file, so you can't access any version history, comments, or permissions from the original file.

  You'll need to duplicate the new version of the Community file to access any updates.

  1. Click the Duplicate button.
  2. Choose which account and workspace you want to add the file to:

  Figma tracks every time someone duplicates a file from the Community. This allows Figma to track remixes and create better feedback loops for creators.

  Figma will add your remix to the original Community file and add the original file to your file listing. Publish Community files →

• Use plugins in files

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Support on any team or plan.

  Anyone with Can edit access to a file can run a plugin in that file.

  Anyone in an organization can install and run plugins approved by their organization.

  Figma plugins allow you to perform tasks within a file. Plugins can view and interpret layers and objects, manipulate them, or create new ones.

  • You can only run plugins in the Figma Editor.
  • You need to run a plugin manually.
  • You can only run one plugin at a time.
  • Plugins can't perform actions in the background.

  Instructions for using a plugin will vary between plugins. Some plugins will perform a user action on the canvas when you run them. Others will require you to adjust inputs or settings, before performing the user action.

  You may need to select frames, objects, or layers before running the plugin. Test run the plugin - or check the plugin listing - to know what selections they support.

  Tip! Want to see which plugins have been used on a file or object? Open the Design panel in the right sidebar and view the Plugins section. Learn more about plugin properties →

  Run a plugin

  You can run a plugin from a few places in the Editor.

  Quick actions

  To access the quick actions bar:

  1. Use the keyboard shortcut:
     • Mac: Command - /
     • Windows: Control + /
  2. Search a plugin by name.
  3. Navigate results by pressing ↑ or ↓ on your keyboard.
  4. Press Return or Enter to perform an action.

  File Menu

  1. Go to the File menu
     in the top-left corner of Figma.
  2. Hover over Plugins to view your installed plugins.
  3. Select the plugin from the options:

  Right-click menu

  1. Right-click anywhere on the canvas.
  2. Hover over Plugins in the menu.
  3. Select the plugin you want to run:
  4. Depending on the plugin, you may need to interact with some UI to perform the user action. Complete any on-screen instructions to run the plugin.
  5. The plugin will apply the user action(s) to the currently selected layer/frame/object/file.

  Tip! If you've used a plugin already, you can run it again using the Run last plugin function. Find this under the File menu > Plugins > Run Last plugin.

  Or, use the keyboard shortcut:

  • Mac: ⌘ Command ⌥ Option P
  • Windows: Alt Control P

  Plugins in the Properties Panel

  Plugins developers can choose to attach information to the File, layer, or object for future reference. This details what user actions the plugin performed.

  When you select that layer, you'll be able to view the details of the plugins in the Plugins section of the Properties Panel. This allows you to:

  • View what plugins were used on your selection
  • See the details of any user actions. Figma will display the first three lines of any user actions.
  • Run the plugin from the Properties Panel
  • Install the plugin without leaving the File
  • Remove the plugin from the layer/object/file

  

  For example: the Mapsicle plugin allows you to insert a static map into a layer. When we select that layer, we can see the Mapsicle plugin in the Plugins section of the Properties Panel. We can then click the Open in Mapsicle prompt to edit the map.

  View plugins

  Plugin information in the right sidebar will vary depending on your selection in the canvas.

  • Individual layers: When selecting an object or layer, you can see any plugin information still attached to that selection in the Plugins section of the right sidebar.
  • Multiple layers: Selecting multiple layers or objects won't display plugins in the right sidebar, unless the plugin has been used on all layers or objects in the selection. Select a single layer to view any attached plugins.
  • File or Page: When nothing is selected, you can see any plugins used on the entire file or page, not a specific layer or object.

  Tip! To clear selection, press the Esc key.

  Not seeing plugins in the right sidebar?

  • Make sure the plugin has been updated by its developer to support descriptions.
  • If you're a member of an organization, make sure the plugin has been approved by an organization admin.
  • If thee plugin you used was later removed, Figma won't show it in the right sidebar.

  Install and run plugins

  You can also run a plugin from the Plugins section of the right sidebar. Click the plugin name to run the plugin:

  • Installed: The plugin will run. Some plugins will launch a window to use them, like editing a map in Mapsicle or a note in Notepad. Others will re-run their task and display any results in the Properties Panel, like a plugin that checks color contrast.
  • Not installed: Figma will ask you if you want to install the plugin. Once installed, you can run the plugin from the right sidebar by clicking the plugin name again.

  Remove plugins

  To remove a plugin and its information from a file, page, or selected object, click the button next to the plugin name.

  Creators and contributors

  Figma allows you to choose who is listed as a creator of a file or plugin as part of the publishing process. This is a great way to recognize other people who have contributed to the file or plugin's development.

  • To qualify as a creator on a plugin, the contributor must have an existing Figma Community profile.
  • To qualify as a creator on a file, the contributor must meet both the following criteria:
    • Have an existing Figma Community profile.
    • Have an explicit Can view or Can edit role on the original file. If someone only has access to the file via their team-level permissions, you will need to invite them to the file.

  Figma will send anyone you add a creator a notification, which gives the option to accept or decline the request. Figma shows accepted creators on the resource page and will include the file or plugin on each creator's Community profile.

  • Publish a file to the Community
  • Publish and share a plugin

  File remixes

  To help with attribution, Figma tracks every time a member of the Community duplicates a file. This allows us to trace duplicated files back to the original creator.

  Remixes are files that have been published to the Community that originally came from another Community file.

  When you remix a file Figma will:

  • Add an attribution to the file page to show the original file and creator
  • Add this file to the Remixes section of the original file page.

  

  Note: Figma only tracks immediate connections between files. This includes attributions to the parent file on a remixed file, and any direct remixes on the original file page.

  Report a violation

  Outside of published remixes, Figma isn't able to track files to ensure appropriate attribution.

  If you do notice that someone is not meeting these requirements, please get in touch and let us know! Contact us directly via email at content-reviews@figma.com.

  Report a violation

  Help us keep the Figma Community strong and protect our users’ integrity and safety.

  Each of us is an important part of the Figma Community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by flagging the resource as inappropriate or writing to us at content-reviews@figma.com.

  When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible - such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content - so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines.

  Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between Figma users. If one of your creations was posted by someone else, you could try contacting the violator directly and ask for the content to be taken down. If that doesn’t work, you can file a copyright report.

  We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s a risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
