Improved class pasting behavior for Figma plugin

We’ve been listening to our community closely since releasing our Figma plugin, and one of the most requested updates we’ve heard is improvements to class naming when copying and pasting elements from Figma to Webflow. 

Previously, copying and pasting from Figma to Webflow duplicated classes each time you pasted, causing the Webflow class system to get out of control pretty quickly. 

With today’s release, we’ve given you options for sharing styles between Figma layers and Webflow classes without duplicated classes: 

Paste using Webflow classes

Command + Shift + V on Mac or  Control + Shift + V on Windows

For example, if you have a “Button” with a red background in Figma but your “Button” class has a green background in Webflow, this will paste a button with a green background into Webflow. 

Paste updating Webflow classes

Command + Option + V on Mac or Control + Option + V on Windows 

For example, if you have a “Button” with a red background in Figma, but your “Button” class has a green background in Webflow, the Button class background color in Webflow will change to red.

Note: to ensure the copying and pasting works smoothly, you’ll need to give Webflow permission to access your clipboard on the first paste — then refresh your Designer to update the setting before you paste from Figma.
