1.5.0 and later

This integration is available as a plugin on the Figma Community page. Only the latest version will be published for distribution.

Version 1.5 (24 January 2024)

In this release, we've improved how Acrolinx reads formatting for paragraphs and lists.

Improvements

  • More contextual information - The text content of Figma nodes now comes with more contextual information, including details about the structure of paragraphs and lists. We've updated Acrolinx to align with this and improve checking behavior. Get the updated Figma Content Profile to benefit from these changes.

Archived versions

Version 1.4 (7 August 2023)

Summary

Released 7 August 2023

This release, we've made it easier for you to check content in Figma.

Platform Support

Acrolinx for Figma and FigJam requires:

  • Acrolinx Platform version 2022.03

Dropped Support

We no longer support Acrolinx for Figma 1.2 and earlier.

Improvements

  • Improved Checking Experience - No more waiting when you try to check large files in Figma! Instead of automatically running a check on all elements in a file, Acrolinx now only checks elements that you select.

Note

To run a check, you'll need to select at least one text element.

Version 1.3 (1 September 2022)

Summary

This release comes with a big improvement! You can now use the Check Selection feature with frames. On top of that, we've added a timeout for large files.

Platform Support

Acrolinx for Figma and FigJam requires:

  • Acrolinx Platform 2021.12.1 or later

Improvements
Check Selection Now Checks Frames

Good news – you can now check frames and individual components with Acrolinx for Figma. This makes it easier to run a quick check on a specific component and helps you split up checking for larger files. When you're ready to check, just select frames from the left menu in Figma, or click a frame directly on the page.

Tip

We suggest that you use the Check Selection feature when your document has a lot of frames or components.

Timeout Introduced for Longer Checks

When you want to check large files in Figma, a regular Acrolinx check doesn't always cut it. That's why we've added a check timeout. The next time you try to check a large file, you'll see a message in the Sidebar that suggests you use the Check Selection feature.

Version 1.2 (23 June 2022)

Summary

This might be a small release, but we know you've been waiting for it. It's all about child elements this time. Acrolinx now checks child elements in FigJam, and we also fixed a bug where Acrolinx wasn’t checking child elements in Figma.

Platform Support

Acrolinx for Figma and FigJam requires:

  • Acrolinx Platform 2021.12.1 or later.

Dropped Support

We've dropped support for macOS Mojave.

Improvements
Check Child Elements in FigJam

You now can check text child elements in FigJam. We've added support so that Acrolinx now can read and check these elements.

Bug Fixes
Acrolinx Didn’t Check All Child Elements in Figma

Acrolinx wouldn’t check all child elements. What happened was that Acrolinx would ignore text in buttons and other child elements. This works now as expected – Acrolinx includes all child elements in a check.
