Manifest

Figma plugin — built by Tribal House

Version control, releases, and changelogs for Figma.

Figma keeps a history of your whole file. Manifest keeps a history of the parts you ship inside it — commit a frame, cut a release, publish a changelog.

Live on the Figma Community · Free to install · Works on every Figma plan

Git for designers

Commit design work the way engineers commit code.

Pick a frame, component, or page, write a message, and commit it to a named release. Every commit saves a snapshot and a preview — so a release still shows what it held months later.

Published to the web

Release notes your customers can actually read.

Roll a release into a changelog and publish it to a shareable page with its own link and RSS feed. No Figma seat required to read it.

Handoff

Developers see the release history of any layer.

In Dev Mode, click a layer and Manifest shows every release it belonged to — whether it’s ready for handoff, the designer’s notes, and linked reviews. The latest handoff-ready commit is front and center. No more digging through comments.

Power tools

Three ways to tidy the file before you ship.

Font Changer

Scan every font in scope and remap it to a new family — styles matched automatically by weight and italic.

Color & Style Replacer

Find raw, style-bound, and variable-bound colors, then bulk-replace them with a color, paint style, or variable.

Consistency Lint

Scan for rogue colors, unstyled text, and detached instances — free — and bulk-fix the confident ones.

Also in Manifest

01

Release board in your file

Manifest lays out a “Release Index” page inside the Figma file — one section per release, cards grouped New, Updated, and Handoff-ready — so the team sees what shipped without opening the plugin.

02

Cross-file promotion

Commit a component out of one file and land it in another — into a published library or a client file — on a named release.

03

Works on every plan

Runs on Figma Starter through Enterprise. No API keys, no org setup, no seat required to read a published changelog.

How it works

Commit. Release. Publish.

01

Commit

Select what you shipped — a frame, component, or page — and commit it with a message. Manifest snapshots it with a preview.

02

Release

Group commits into a named, semantic release. It rolls up into a changelog and a board inside your file.

03

Publish

Push the changelog to a public page with a link and RSS feed, and hand off to developers in Dev Mode.

Questions

Everything designers ask before they commit.

What is Manifest?

Manifest is a Figma plugin that adds version control to Figma. You commit frames, components, and pages into named, semantic releases (like v1.2), and Manifest builds changelogs, a release board inside your file, and Dev Mode handoff from those commits.

How is it different from Figma’s version history?

Figma’s version history is one undifferentiated timeline of the whole file. Manifest adds a deliberate release layer on top — so “what shipped in v1.2” has a real answer, and each release keeps a snapshot and preview of exactly what it contained.

Does it work on the free Figma plan?

Yes. Manifest runs on every Figma plan, from Starter through Enterprise. On Starter it consolidates the release board onto a single page instead of many.

Can developers see releases without the plugin?

Yes. Developers open Dev Mode, click any layer, and see every release it belonged to, whether it’s handoff-ready, and the designer’s notes. Anyone can also read a published changelog on the web — no Figma seat required.

What does Manifest integrate with?

GitHub (real commits, tagged releases, and PRs), Linear and Jira (link and update issues on release), Slack (release notifications), and Chromatic/CI (build status next to the matching commit).

Is Manifest available yet?

Yes. Manifest is published on the Figma Community and free to install — open the listing, click Open in Figma, and it runs in any file you have edit access to.
