Send a frame from the Figma plugin

This guide walks you through sending a Figma frame to Uiprobe using the Figma plugin. The result is a draft probe that you can complete later by providing a webpage URL.

What you need

• A Figma account
• The Uiprobe Figma plugin installed (available from the Figma Community)
• A Figma frame URL for the design you want to compare

Send a frame

1. Open the plugin in Figma.
2. If prompted, click Login with Figma to sign in.
3. Copy the URL of the Figma frame you want to compare. Right-click the frame, select Copy/Paste as, then Copy link to selection. If you're using Figma in the browser, you can also copy the URL from the address bar while the frame is selected.
4. Paste the URL into the plugin's Figma frame URL field.
5. Wait for the "Frame detected" confirmation.
6. Click Send to Uiprobe.

A success screen confirms the draft probe was created.

What happens next

The frame's design data is now in Uiprobe as a draft probe. You can find it in the Probes Overview, where it appears with a Draft badge.

A draft probe has no webpage URL yet, so it can't run a comparison. To start comparing, you need to complete the draft.
