This Automation allows you to read design tokens stored on a document with the Figma Tokens plugin and creates living documentation layers for you. It takes a template layer as a selection, asks you which token set and what token groups you'd like to use. It then creates layers based on this template layer, sets token data in the sharedPluginData space so the Figma Tokens plugin can later on pick those up again.

Create template layers that match any token property with two underscores so the plugin will pick it up:

__fill
__value
__tokenName
__tokenValue

And basically any other property that Figma Tokens supports.

For example, if you have "global", "light", "dark" token sets defined in Figma Tokens and you'd want to create a documentation for the "light" set for every token name that starts with "colors", you'd input "light" followed by "colors", have the template layer selected and then run the automation.

This automation quickly creates and sets a file's thumbnail, which is complete with both a title and a team or project text layer. Each are placed within a visible container, which guarantees the content will be seen no matter the size of the Figma window.

Creating a Color Style automatically from a frame. 
1. Create a frame with your color 
2. Name your frame by first letter of the category + #  (Example: Brand:B, #:1 = B1) 
3. Use ‘Create ColorStyle Plugin’  
4. Select the desired color frames 
5. Insert in the prompt your category (brand,utility,ect.)  

You will get a renamed layer with category name / color name & a color style inside of a category.


This method works only with the same category names for now

Gets all the items selected and compares each item with your Color Styles and if it finds a match, it would replace the Fill color with the correct style.

If it doesn't find a match, it would add a fill to later fix the items with missing styles.

Works with groups, frames, and stand-alone items.

Time Machine saves and organizes work that you want to look back on. You'll no longer need to manually copy a version of what you're working on to a new page to reference for later.

Any time you want to save a version, just make a selection and activate Time Machine. It'll send a copy of your selection to a page called "Time Machine" that keeps a chronological timeline of what you've saved.

Your work is organized by date and time, so you can compare side by side as your work evolves.
