Hi there,
A couple years ago I published a community plugin with my team. Since then I have bought a new machine which I have reinstalled Figma on and cloned the plugin repository onto.
How do I get Figma to recognize that the cloned plugin code on my new machine corresponds to the live community plugin? Right now I am unable to push the updates I have made to my local copy.
Make sure that the manifest.id of the plugin in development is the same as that of the published one. Also make sure you are signed in to the creator or approved publisher account.
Thank you for the reply.
The manifest id is the same, and I am signed in as the approved publisher. Really at a loss here š
What do you see after you click āPublishā in the drop-down menu in the Resources window?
It shows me the modal for publishing a new plugin, as though itās the first time being published
Go to the plugin page in Figma Community. Do you see the āEdit this pageā link? If you see it, click on it and go to the āPermissionsā tab. Do you see your account listed as an owner or āCan updateā?
Also try removing the plugin from the development list and reimporting the plugin from the manifest.
Where should I be looking for to see the āEdit this pageā link?
Even for plugins I have the permissions to publish updates to I donāt see that option on the pluginās community page. I have to use the āpublish new versionā option in the resources menu (under plugins in development), untick the āPublish a new versionā toggle in the modal that comes up, then edit the description, etc. and save changes from there
Reimporting from the manifest didnāt change anything either, unfortunately š¦ I wonder if itās because the plugin is published from my teamās admin account. I have permissions to browse Figma community and publish from my teamās admin account, but canāt use the admin account to actually work within/edit a Figma file
In the right column under the Details section.
Unfortunately, I donāt know and wonāt be able to give you any advice. But is this account the original publisher of this plugin?
The link I see under the right-hand column where āEdit this pageā should be is āReport resourceā, regardless of whether I am logged in and browsing using my company email or the Figma team admin email š
And yes, my teamās admin account is the original publisher of the plugin
