Widgets are custom objects that you can add to the Figma editor or FigJam board. They allow you to level up your sessions with new tools, data from external applications, or new ways to play.

Unlike plugins which are only visible to individuals, widgets are objects that everyone in the file can see. You'll need to have edit access to a file to interact with a widget.

You can add as many widgets as you want and reposition them like any other object. Use widgets to add functionality to your file, such as:

• Import CSVs to create tables, or to transform the data into interactive visualizations.
• Place polls and voting counters to gather insight from your company on a product idea.
• Build a project timeline with other teammates in a calendar widget.
• Create pre-styled mind maps and organization charts quickly.
• Take a break and play Connect Four or chess with a teammate.

2. Hover over Widgets.
3. Click Select all widgets.

Update widgets

Developers may create new versions of their widgets to support new features or functionality. When developers publish updates, Figma will update the widget in the Community as well as in the toolbox.

Figma won’t force an update on any widgets you’ve already inserted. This is to protect any information stored in those widgets — like the data in tables or vote counts.

You can manually check each widget in your file for updates:

1. Right-click on the widget you'd like to update.
2. Hover over Widgets at the bottom of the menu.
3. If there is an update available, select Update to latest version.
4. Figma will replace the widget with the latest version and copy over any information from the previous version.

If this breaks your widget or deletes any data, you can undo the update using:

⌘ Command-Z (Mac) or Ctrl-Z (Windows).

View the version history of a widget

Widget developers can add a description of their changes when they publish updates. You can use this information to decide if you want to update the widget.

To view any widget updates:

1. Right-click on the widget.
2. Select View widget details.
3. Select See more details in Community to open the widget in the Community.
4. Scroll down to view any Version history. If you have any questions for the developer, you can leave a comment using the Add a comment field.

Widget security and performance

Widgets run third-party code and can open iFrames—inline windows that allow widgets to run HTML and JS code, or access external APIs, websites, and resources.

Figma will let you know when you’re interacting with a widget:

• View a widget’s name when you select it on the board
• View a widget’s name and icon at the top of any iFrames

Widgets can also access information about the file and any users in that file:

• All layers and objects that are in the file
• The username, ID, and avatar of any users in the file
• Current cursor position of file participants
• Current viewport—the area of the canvas or board that is visible on screen
• The ID of selected layers or objects

Approve organization widgets

If you are in an organization, you can restrict widget use to approved widgets only. When enabled, members can only install and run widgets that organization admins approve. Approve organization widgets →
