  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  • Publish content to a single profile across different Figma accounts
  • Follow, like, and comment without having to switch between profiles
  • Merge existing Community profiles from separate Figma accounts
  • Move your Community profile to a different Figma account

  5. If there isn't a Community profile connected to that account, Figma will add the selected account to your connected profiles.

  Merge profiles

  If you add an account with an existing Community profile, Figma will ask you to merge your profiles. Merging profiles will:

  • Combine your follows lists, likes, comments and notifications under a single profile. Access any files and public plugins you've published from a single profile.
  • Make your installed plugins available across your connected accounts. If you're an organization member, you can only use private plugins in the organization
  • Delete the profile and handle that you don't want to use and make the handle available for another member to use.

  Caution: Once a profile has been merged, there is no way to go reverse the action and return to the previous state.

  1. Select Continue to begin the selection process.
  2. Select the profile handle you'd like to use. You will lose the profile handle you don't choose making it possible for other members to claim it.
  3. Click Merge profiles to confirm. Figma will add the selected account to your connected profiles.

  Tip! The profile picture for your Community profile is separate to your Figma account. You can update your profile picture on your Community profile. Learn how to preview and edit your profile →
