Explore the Figma Community
Navigate to figma.com/community to discover templates and tools created by the Figma Community. You can find resources by browsing through feature categories. You can also search for specific resources and creators by name, tags, or profile handle (for example, @learn). Enter your search term in the Search field at the top of the screen and press Enter.
Filter search results by Files + templates, Plugins, Widgets, or Creators to view results by resource type. The count next to each option lets you know how many results there are for each resource. You can further narrow down the results using the additional filter options.
Note: Team and organization admins can also browse the Community as an admin. This allows you to manage resources on the team or organization's profile, as well as manage plugins across the organization. Access Community as an admin →

Plugins
Plugins are third-party scripts or applications that extend the functionality of Figma's products. Use plugins to customize your experience or create more efficient workflows in Figma Design, Dev Mode, FigJam, and Figma Slides. Anyone with can edit access can run a plugin in a file. Plugins are only visible to the person who ran it and cannot be interacted with by other users in the same file.
Creators can choose to include a playground file when publishing a plugin. Playground files provide additional context on how and when to use the plugin.

Widgets
Widgets are custom objects you can add to the Figma editor or FigJam board. Use widgets to level up your collaboration sessions with different tools, data from external applications. Anyone with can edit access can add a widget to a file or interact with widgets added by other users. Unlike plugins which are only visible to individuals, widgets are objects that everyone in the file can see.
Creators can choose to include a playground file when publishing a widget. Playground files provide additional context on how and when to use the widget.

Resource Community pages
Once you’ve found a resource that interests you, click on the listing to view its Community page. The Community page is where you can read the resource’s description, like and save resources, view comments left by the creator or other Community members, and get the creator’s contact information for support with using the resource.
Usage metrics
When viewing a resource's Community page, you may notice two numbers next to the creator's name. The number next to the heart icon indicates how many users have liked the resource. The other number indicates how many people have used the plugin or widget, or duplicated the file.
Note: On paid resources, this metric includes the total number of people who have previewed or purchased the resource.
Community profiles
Community profiles showcase contributions to the Figma community. You’ll need a Community profile to follow other creators, view your saved resources on Community, or leave comments and reviews.
You can create Community profiles for individuals, teams, or organizations. Create profiles for each of your accounts or use one profile across all of your Figma accounts.
