Use Ziflow to review Figma projects, gather feedback, and track changes. Integrating the two tools helps you manage design reviews more efficiently. 

Available on: Free Standard Pro Enterprise

After a three-day trial, Figma requires all users to have a full seat on a paid plan to access plugins.

This feature is in Public Preview phase. Public Preview allows early access to users, so they can test new features and share feedback before the full public release. 

For information about limitations, support, and risks during release phases, see Ziflow feature release phases.
