Illustrator + SVG Import
A new plugin by Rogie King fixes the most common issues with importing and copy-pasting SVGs from Adobe Illustrator to Figma. Huge time saver if you’ve ever had to deal with these problems manually!

Play prototypes while editing
Rogie made a new plugin for playing a prototype while editing it. Because the plugin accesses the file id, it has to be installed locally. (I usually just open a prototype in a new app window while working on it.)
Ever wanted to play your prototypes while editing in @figmadesign? I made a little plugin for you! It's called "Prototype Preview", but it has to be installed as a local plugin (as it accesses the file id). Animation by @antimofm

HEIC Import
Knockout shadow
Figma just rolled out a feature that allows you to turn off showing a shadow behind transparent areas. I'm ridiculously stoked about this because of what it means for turning designs into code.
