Just like you, in this post-Config world, we’ve 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!
Figma has limited plugins to share a maximum of 100KB of data through their APIs.
But don’t worry, we’ve worked some magic under the hood to make sure your workflow isn’t 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, you’ll still see the option to “Recover local changes”, 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, we’ll show you the project size in the footer of the plugin.
We’re compressing your Token Data, and for projects above 100kb we also chunk into individual packets to make sure your workflow isn’t disrupted.
However, this process takes time, and as your Token project grows, you’ll notice the Plugin slows down.
If you're consuming Token Studio data via the sharedPluginData
API 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.

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)
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!
You’ll see:
Count of Tokens found
Token Set list on the left is filtered to show you where the search result has found a match.
