Atarim Figma Plugin: Overview & Why It Exists

Why Use Atarim Instead of Native Figma Comments?

Figma comments are great for lightweight collaboration — but once projects grow, stakeholders multiply, or feedback needs tracking, they fall short. That’s where the Atarim Figma Plugin comes in. Atarim gives you the structure, visibility, and control that native Figma comments can’t — especially when clients, devs, and cross-functional teams are involved.

1. Deeper Collaboration Tools

Native Figma comments are great for quick notes — but they stop there.

With Atarim, you unlock:

• Task statuses (Open, In Progress, Review, Completed)
• Priority levels (Low, Medium, High, Critical)
• Task assignments
• Internal-only notes (hidden from clients)
• Integrations with tools like Jira, ClickUp, and Slack

Our tool turns feedback into actionable work, not forgotten comments.

Warning: Avoid relying solely on Figma comments — they can get buried or forgotten.

2. Centralized Communication

Figma comments live only inside a single file.

Atarim centralizes:

• All design feedback
• Tasks across multiple projects
• Inbox and board views for execution tracking

This prevents feedback from falling through the cracks and eliminates the need to jump between files just to find comments.

Note: Atarim’s Inbox and Boards let you see all tasks, from any design or website — even across workspaces.

3. Version Control

Version tracking in Figma can quickly become messy.

With the Atarim Figma Plugin:

• Every push can be saved as a new version
• You can track how many revisions a design went through
• Stakeholders clearly see progress over time

This creates transparency and helps manage endless revision cycles.

Tip: Push a new version after each major revision round to maintain a clean version history.

How to Push Designs from Figma into Atarim

Easily send your Figma designs into Atarim for visual feedback and collaboration with your team or clients. This guide explains how to select frames or entire canvases and push them into your workspace in just a few clicks — no exporting or slicing needed.

Step 1: Select Frames

Instructions:

• Select a specific frame to push one design
• Select nothing to push the entire canvas as one page

Tip: Selecting individual frames makes feedback more organized and reduces client confusion.

Step 2: Create a New Project

Instructions:

1. Open the Atarim Plugin
2. Click Add New Project
3. The project name will automatically match your Figma design (you can rename it later)

Note: This creates a graphics project inside Atarim, not a web project.

Step 3: Add Designs to Pages

Instructions:

• Select a frame
• Choose or create a Page
• Click Add Design
• Repeat for each relevant frame

Warning: Avoid adding unrelated frames to the same page — this makes feedback harder to manage.

Step 4: Add New Versions

When your design changes:

• Select the new frame
• Click Add Version
• Choose the corresponding page

Tip: Use versioning at key checkpoints — before sending to clients or developers.

Step 5: Share the Project

Instructions:

• Click Share in the plugin or Atarim project view
• Invite teammates or clients
• Viewers can comment and collaborate without Figma access

Tip: Use the “Copy Link” option to drop feedback links into Slack or project tools.

Understanding the Rebuilt Graphics Collaboration View

Designs are displayed top-to-bottom, not scattered across pages.

Benefits:

• Clear feedback flow
• No aimless canvas navigation
• Precise comments per design element
• Easy version switching

Recommendation: This layout is ideal for client reviews and structured feedback sessions.
