• Duplicate Community files

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  You need a Figma account to duplicate Community files.

  Community files are FigJam or Figma design files that creators have shared with the Community. Files can contain libraries and UI, tools and processes, or other educational resources.

  Note: Licensing terms for Community files vary depending on if the file is free or paid. Learn more about Figma Community copyright and licensing →

  Every file has a resource page where you can view file information and preview the file or prototype. Interact with these previews like you would any regular embed.

  Note: You can now purchase files directly from the Figma Community. Learn more about purchasing resources →

  

  Duplicate files

  Duplicate a file to add a copy of it to your drafts folder. This duplicate is an entirely new file, so you won’t be able to access any version history, comments, or permissions from the original file.

  Changes made to the original file are not reflected in duplicated files. You must duplicate the updated file to view any changes.

  You can't duplicate Community files when browsing Community as a team or organization admin. Make sure you're browsing on your own profile before trying to duplicate a file.

  1. Click Get a copy (free files) or Buy (paid files). 
     For paid Figma Design files, you can click Get free preview to trial the content before purchasing. Learn more about purchasing resources →

  2. Select the account and workspace you want to add the file to. 
     

     Note: You cannot publish files to an individual profile from an organization workspace. If you plan on remixing the file, make sure to duplicate the file to your External teams workspace or a personal account. Who can publish Community resources →

     
  3. A copy of the file is added to your drafts. Every file you duplicate from the Community will have (Community) appended to the file name.
  4. To remove the file, delete it from your drafts.

  Remix Community files

  Figma encourages sharing and iterating on Community files. If you've duplicated a Community file and made it your own, you can also publish this file to the Community. Figma considers these files a remix. When you publish a remix, Figma will:

  • Add an attribution to the file page to show the original file and creators
  • Add this file to the Remixes section of the original file page
  • Create a remix page when there are more than three remixes of a file

  If there are more than three remixes of a file, select See all to view all remixes on a dedicated page.

  Note: You can't remix paid files.

• Use plugins in files

  Before you start

  • You must manually run plugins
  • You can only run one plugin at a time
  • Plugins can't perform actions in the background

  Plugin security

  Plugins run third-party code and can access user and file information for their plugin actions.

  User information that plugins can access includes user name, user ID, avatar, cursor position in a file, the bounds of the FigJam board or Figma design editor that is visible on-screen, and the ID of a selected object.

  File information that plugins can access includes all layers that exist in your file.

  When you're interacting with a plugin, Figma will show a toast notification at the bottom of the file while it is running. If the plugin uses an iFrame, Figma will show the plugin's name and plugin icon either at the top of the plugin's iFrame.

  Figma is not responsible for performance-related issues of any plugin. If you experience performance issues or spot a bug on a specific plugin, reach out to the plugin's support contact.

  Interested in making plugins for Figma and FigJam? Figma's plugin API supports both read and write functions, allowing you to view and edit existing layers as well as create new ones.

• Purchase Community resources

  You can purchase resources directly from the Figma Community using Figma’s payment platform.

  Note: We are unable to accept payments from users with Russian or Indian-based credit cards at this time.

  Find paid resources

  Use the filter options on the Community to browse for paid resources. You can filter by Paid, Free, and Paid + free. 

  Paid resources are identified with a badge. The badge varies depending on what type of payment method the resource is sold with:

  

  1. [Price]: You can buy this resource using a one-time payment. The badge reflects the total price.
  2. [In-app purchases]: You can try this resource before buying using a free trial. The trial may be time or usage-based. For example, a creator might offer a few features for free and set the rest behind a paywall. Or they might offer a 30-day trial before you have to purchase.
  3. [Price/mo]: You can buy this resource using a monthly subscription. The badge reflects the price per month.

  Note: If the price increases on an active subscription, you will be notified by email and an in-product notification at least 16 days before the increase takes effect. We won’t notify you if the price of a subscription decreases.

  4. [Third-party payment]: This resource is not sold through Figma's payment platform. You will be redirected to another site to purchase the resource.

  Note: Figma is unable to provide purchase or refund support for resources sold on other sites. You’ll need to contact the creator directly if you need assistance.

  Preview a paid resource

  Some paid resources include a content trial so you can preview the content before purchasing it.

  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 notice that someone is not meeting these requirements, please contact us at content-reviews@figma.com.
