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

    +1 Plugins like Find In Page that allows you to do a text search would be very helpful for view only. I constantly have to ask my designers where specific designs are.

          Please make this happen. This would be really useful for the QA to inspect and find elements/component/content more easily among all my pages.

                  Really not having plugin available as viewer is senseless. If we would like to restrict any access to the design we simply revoke the access from user to it. Not every plugin will have to change the design LMAO.

                  Not being able to use basic features link finding text as a viewer is severely limiting! If a plugin only has read access, then it should be available to viewers.

                  I would absolutely need this as well. I don’t understand the limitation, especially for plugins like “Search” that allow for cross-frame text-based search.

                  If figma would add some sort of “Search in file” similarly to sketch where you filter the layer stack based on the name of the layer, this wouldn’t even be needed imo.
