Figma is not able to provide support for third-party applications, including plugins. If you have questions about, or issues with a plugin, we recommend reaching out to the developer.
Every plugin must provide a Support contact. This can be an email address, a website, or a link to a help center. Find the Support contact in the details of the plugin page.

Drafts
Access both your Drafts and any Deleted files from the Drafts workspace. Use the tabs at the top of the page to switch between them.
Drafts
Every Figma account comes with its own drafts. You can think of your Drafts like a sketchbook or notebook. It's a place where you can jot down your ideas and experiment with different concepts.
Drafts are separate from any teams or projects. Any files you create here are your own. There are no limits in the drafts folder, so create as many files as you like!
The Deleted files folder is an archive of any files you have access to that have been deleted. This includes files that you deleted yourself and files others deleted.
You can use the Created by to filter your results. Choose to view files created by: Anyone, You, or Others.
Figma will keep files in the deleted files folder indefinitely. It's not possible to open a deleted file, but depending on your access to the original file, there are some actions you can take.
Find any files or projects collaborators have shared with you in your Shared files or Shared projects. This includes:
Drafts that another collaborator has invited you to.
External projects that another collaborator has shared with you.
Tip! Use the sort filter in the top-right corner to change the order that files appear.
Teams
Figma adds every team you are a member of to the file browser. This allows you to access those teams from the sidebar. Figma shows projects you've favorited under the team name.
Click on the team name to open the workspace for that team, where you can manage projects, members, settings, and billing.
Tip! You can choose the order your teams appear! Click on the team name and drag it up or down. A black line will show where you can move the Team. Release to confirm the new location.
