Options to protect our designs without losing functionalities

Hi Figma team,

We are currently exploring the use of copy/export restrictions to protect design assets, but we are experiencing side effects on developer workflows and integrations (such as Jira and Productboard).

Specifically, restricting copy/export seems to interfere with:
– Inspect functionality for developers
– Plugin behavior
– External integrations relying on design data

Could you clarify:

1. What exactly is impacted when copy/export is restricted?
2. Are there recommended best practices to protect design IP without affecting developer workflows and integrations?
3. Are there alternative settings or approaches that balance security and usability?

We are trying to find the right balance between protecting design assets and maintaining an efficient product development workflow.

Thanks in advance.
