Save a reviewed design beside the product knowledge your team uses to plan work.
The Figma integration saves selected visible layers, text, a frame image when available, and the source version. A workspace owner or admin chooses what to import and which product it belongs to.
Connect your account
You need a Figma account that can open the design and a workspace owner or admin role to save context.
- Open Settings → Integrations, find Figma, and choose Connect your Figma account.
- Sign in to Figma and approve access to your profile and file content.
- Return to Zentrik. Your connection identifies your own account; another member's connection does not give you access to their files.
Your Figma administrator may need to allow Zentrik. If connection setup is unavailable, contact support.
Preview and save a design
- Open Context, then Context library actions → Import Figma design. You can also use Bring in a design on the Figma connection page.
- Paste a Figma Design file or frame link and choose Find design.
- For a file link, choose a frame or Whole file · layers and text. A whole-file import does not include a combined image. Large files may require a smaller selection.
- Review the preview. Open Source version and extracted text to check what will be saved. Hidden layers and unrelated dependency nodes are excluded.
- Choose Save for, then Save to context. This shares the saved design with the workspace. Product scope controls where the context is used; it is not a private access boundary.
Choose Open saved context to check the result. The stored image does not depend on Figma's temporary export link. If Figma cannot render an image, Zentrik says so before you save the layers and text.
Updates and links
To refresh a design, import the same selection into the same product again. Review the new preview before saving. Zentrik updates the saved source while preserving your document name and description. Repeating the same version does not create another document. Importing into another product creates a separate source.
After saving a frame, you can choose Enable links back to Figma. Figma asks for additional permission. Return to the saved design flow and choose Add Zentrik link to this frame to add a link to the saved context. No link is posted during import. You need permission to add resources to the frame in Figma.
Designs do not refresh on a schedule. Source changes remain in Figma until someone reviews and saves an update.
Sharing and disconnecting
Disconnect on your Figma connection page removes your account's access from this workspace. Saved context remains until an owner or admin deletes it. Removing the whole connection from Sources removes all member grants for that connection. To revoke Zentrik across workspaces, remove it from Figma's connected apps.
Saving a design makes its text available to the workspace's context tools under the workspace's processing policy. A link back to Zentrik does not grant Figma viewers access to your workspace.
Troubleshooting
Most connection problems clear up after a fresh authorization or an admin allows the app. If you have tried that and still cannot connect, contact us and we will help.
Access expired or the design is missing
Open the original link with the connected Figma account. Check file permissions, then reconnect in Zentrik if requested. A removed frame needs a new link.
Figma reached its request limit
Wait until the time shown. Figma limits depend on the account, plan and endpoint. Zentrik keeps your selection and does not retry during the wait.
The preview expired or the design is too large
Choose Preview again for an expired preview. For a large selection, paste a link to a smaller frame. Zentrik does not silently shorten the imported design text.
