Managing connected Figma files

You can manage all connected Figma files in the Design data section. Clicking on the Figma card in the menu to the left of the screen will open an overview of your Figma integration.

Connected files

In the Figma integration section, you'll see a table with all of your connected files in it.

Here, you can see details about your file, how updates are being imported (automatically or manually), and when the file last imported updates. You can also view the import summary from here, and manually import updates from any file if you wish.

View import summary

In the Connected files table, click the View summary button the appears when hovering on the relevant file row to open your import summary.

In it, you can see exactly what was imported to Supernova from your Figma file, and whether any issues occurred.

• In the general section, you can see how Figma frames and components were imported.
• In the design tokens section, you can see how many tokes were added, and how many were updated or removed if some have already been imported from this file.
• In the assets section, same as tokens, you'll see how many were added, updated and removed.
• You'll also see any errors that occured during import. You can find an explanation of these in Troubleshooting.
