# Save the Figma file you have open to FileOpener

> Open the folder you want, click Add, and paste the file's share link the first time FileOpener asks for it.

## Goal

Bookmark a Figma or FigJam file, such as a template, a design system or a client project, so you can reopen it in one click.

## Before you start

- FileOpener installed from Figma Community.
- The file you want to save open in Figma or FigJam.

## Steps

1. **Open FileOpener in that file** Run FileOpener from the Plugins menu while the file you want to save is open.
2. **Go to the right folder** Click a folder to open it. Add saves into the folder you are looking at; at Home the file is saved without a folder.
3. **Click Add** If FileOpener already knows this file's link, the file is saved right away with a link to the frame you have selected, or to the current page, and you see "File saved with shareable link 🔗".
4. **Paste the link the first time** If a Connect window opens instead, copy the file's link in Figma (Share > Copy link), paste it into Figma File URL and click Save File. FileOpener says "Connected file key for" and the file name.
5. **Click Add again** Connecting only teaches FileOpener the file's link. Click Add once more to save the file to your library. From now on, Add works straight away in this file.

## Tips

- Select the frame you want to land on before you click Add: the saved link opens the file at that frame.
- Clicking Add twice saves the file twice. Delete the extra entry by dragging it onto Delete.

## Result

The file is in your library under the file's name, ready to open with one click.

## If something goes wrong

- **I clicked Save File but the file is not in my list.** -> Save File connects the link; it does not save the file yet. Click Add again.
- **"Error: Invalid input: Please provide a valid Figma URL or file key"** -> Paste the full link from Share > Copy link, for example https://www.figma.com/design/…, or just the file key from it.
- **Pressing Enter in the link field does nothing.** -> Click Save File instead.

## Common questions

### Why does FileOpener ask me for the file's link?

Plugins from Figma Community usually cannot read a file's address themselves. You paste it once per file, and FileOpener remembers it in that file.

### Can I save any Figma file?

Yes, any Figma Design or FigJam file you can open. FileOpener stores its link, not its content.

### Where is my library stored?

On your computer, in Figma's storage for the plugin. It is not stored in the Figma file and is not shared with teammates; use Export & Import to move it.

### Does FileOpener open PDFs or images?

No. It saves and opens links to Figma and FigJam files.
