Hello! I’m about to send my first Figma plugin for approval, and wanted to check a couple of things before I do.

Data security questions: I’d like to complete this, but the answers are likely to change as I develop the plugin further. Can I change these answers after the plugin has been published?

Author: Likewise, I’m happy to share the plugin with myself as the author for now, but may want to change to a team in future. Is this possible?

Hi ​@Jonny10, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks for reaching out, and congrats on getting ready to submit your first plugin!

I understand you’d like to check on a couple of things before submitting - specifically around updating your data security responses after publishing, and whether it’s possible to change the author from yourself to a team later on.

I’ve passed your questions along to the plugin team and will follow up here as soon as I have any updates. Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

Hey ​@Jonny10, thanks for your patience and also for the great questions.

To answer your questions:

1. Data security 
Yes, you can update these after your plugin has been published, so it’s completely fine if your answers evolve over time. You can also update the security self-assessment when publishing a new version.

2. Author / ownership
Yes, you can switch profiles (for example, from your personal account to a team) later on. The only caveat is if you need to transfer ownership to a completely different account, you’ll need to reach out to Support for help with that.

Just to add - once your plugin is approved, you can publish updates anytime. You can also update your plugin details or Community page whenever needed.

Hope that helps, and good luck with your first submission!
