Hello!
I ran into a problem that I could not find in your help. There is a Status Annotation plugin, it is very well for work’s control. I make a design for a client, and he’s could control the process with this plugin. But he’s a manager, not a designer. The client usually acts as a viewer, not an editor. This is done so that he cannot spoil anything in the design. But the viewers doesn’t have access to the plugin. Plugins can only be used by editors.

Could you make plugins available for viewers? It will be so usefull.

Thanks

ah thanks! I couldn’t find anything when searching and was surprised it hadn’t been mentioned before. Guess it had! 😅

+1 on this, seemed logical to have view only first time I tried widget and got hyped about viewers being able to use it. But, after initial hype I was a bit down for not being interactive for viewers. Still, hope we’ll see this implemented in the future.

@mods Could you please merge my idea with the above?

Ah, I thought I was doing something wrong. It seems sow logic viewers can interact with vote and poll widgets. This could be so powerfull for Figma!

+100500. This is a very obvious and immediately expected use case which is missing. Viewers can comment on the doc, thus viewers must also be able to do ā€œ+1sā€, i.e. interact with widgets.

Otherwise widgets make no sense in our workflows! Given this implemented, widgets are an amazing addition that will bring LGTMs and reviews directly to our workflows.

Please allow viewer interaction with widgets.

It would be cool if read-only users could use widgets e.g. for voting.
