Using LinkrUI with Figma

How to upload and update Figma designs in Dash using LinkrUI

Updated this week

LinkrUI lets you export designs from Figma directly to Dash. You can upload brand new designs or update edited ones as new versions on Dash - all without leaving Figma.

What you'll need:

  • LinkrUI plugin installed in Figma (Install LinkrUI)

  • A Dash account with access to upload assets

Upload a new design from Figma to Dash

Once you've installed and activated your LinkrUI integration, follow these steps to export a new design from Figma to Dash:

1. Open the LinkrUI popup in Figma

In your Figma file, locate and open the LinkrUI plugin panel.

2. Click the "Export" icon

At the bottom of the LinkrUI popup, click the "Export" icon.


3. Configure your export settings

In the export window:

  • Export to: Choose your preferred format from the dropdown (PNG, JPG, SVG, etc.)

  • Title: Add a title for your design

  • Filename: Enter the filename you want

  • Folder: Select which Dash folder you want the asset saved to

4. Click "Export"

Click the "Export" button to upload your design to Dash.

5. View your design in Dash

Head over to your Dash account and navigate to the folder you selected. Your design will be there!

Done! Your Figma design is now in Dash.


Update an edited design as a new version in Dash

If you've edited a design that's already in Dash, you can upload it as a new version rather than creating a duplicate or manually uploading it to Dash.

1. Find your design in Dash and edit with Figma

In the LinkrUI pop-up, locate the design/image from Dash you want to edit. You can drag and drop the asset to Figma.

2. Update a new version

Once your edited design/image is ready, hover over the current version of your design/image in the LinkrUI pop-up. Click the 3 dots icon that appears.

3. From the dropdown menu, select "New version". Confirm that you want to update this design.

4. Click "Export"

Click "Export" to upload the new version.

Done! Your design is updated in Dash with the new version. Previous versions are still accessible in the version history.
