Plugin for viewers

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

      Yes, please! We’d love to make use of a localization plugin. It’d be easiest if the devs can push the strings themselves directly from Figma, so it’s one workflow for one person and not multiple flows for multiple people.

                We have a plugin that helps developers convert Figma to code more easily. The developers usually only have view access, so they cannot use the plugin. This is a really big pain point for us.

                      Plugins made for DevMode can now be run by viewers!

                      Plugin in Dev Mode can access the current page, listen to events, and make network requests, but crucially they cannot modify the document, with the exception of writing certain metadata like pluginData and relaunchData. So, any method or operation in the plugin API that creates new nodes, deletes existing nodes, or modifies an existing node isn’t available in Dev Mode.
