Just like you, in this post-Config world, weβve had to make a few adjustments.
We took the opportunity to sneak in one of your top-requested features - enhancements to search in the Plugin, and our technical docs!
πΎ Changes to data storage
Figma has limited plugins to share a maximum of 100KB of data through their APIs.
But donβt worry, weβve worked some magic under the hood to make sure your workflow isnβt disrupted! No action is required by you, but there are some things to be aware of.
If you sync your tokens to a remote storage provider:
The only difference in your workflow is when you close the plugin before pushing changes to remote.
As of today, when you reopen the plugin, youβll still see the option to βRecover local changesβ, but under the hood we are saving that data to a different source which is specific to your private Figma Client Data storage.
If you store your Tokens locally to the Figma file:
When your Token project hits the 100kb limit, weβll show you the project size in the footer of the plugin.
Weβre compressing your Token Data, and for projects above 100kb we also chunk into individual packets to make sure your workflow isnβt disrupted.
However, this process takes time, and as your Token project grows, youβll notice the Plugin slows down.
If you're consuming Token Studio data via the
sharedPluginDataAPI with another plugin or with the console, you'll need to access this with a different console command.
The best way to avoid slowdowns in your workflow is to store your Tokens remotely using one of our integrated sync providers.

On GitHub
3310 - Move "restore" token values to client storage for remote sync providers
3313 - Add size check, indicator and dialog for local document storage
3328 - Add compression to storing and reading sharedPluginData (themes and token values)
βοΈ New Feature - Search by Token Name Across Multiple Token Sets
When you enter a Token Name into the search input on the Tokens Page, the Plugin now searches across all Token Sets making it much easier to find the needle in the haystack!
Youβll see:
Count of Tokens found
Token Set list on the left is filtered to show you where the search result has found a match.

January 17th, 2025
Fixed a few issues related to sync providers as well as some issues around import and application of tokens.
Fixed an issue in gitlab sync, where when a user is trying to load tokens in a repo, the "Initial Commit" message is causing an error because the commit message is not in line with the user's company's commit message rules - for those folder creations we now use the same commit message as entered
Fixed an issue related to applying paragraph indent tokens
When importing variables and they use decimals, we fixed an issue with decimals sometimes appearing with too many decimals due to a Figma issue in #3241
Fixed an issue where users were able to create empty token groups by
.values in #3245Fixed an issue with GitLabβs .gitkeep files in #3199
Tokens Studio platform sync: Fixed $theme metadata in #3243
Tokens Studio platform sync: Increased limit for tokens sets, you should run into less issues now
December 23rd, 2024
Minor Changes
8cbef62: Improved Tokens Studio Sync provider creation to work with our new API backend - you now no longer need Connection ID and urn, but just require an API key which will then let you pick organization and project. Note if you had existing sync providers set up with this provider you might need to edit them to use the right project.
Patch Changes
December 9th, 2024
Fixes an issue with variables when updating a token's value from a reference to a hard value (e.g. #ff0000), the check we introduced in the last release caused those to not be updated (and only worked when changing to another reference).
November 27th, 2024
A small release this time that fixes an annoying issue with Bitbucket sync π¬
23caccd: Fixes sync with Bitbucket provider:
Pull when the option is to sync with a single file was not working
Push was removing all other .json files in the selected folder (either root of the chosen folder)
