Sharing and handoff

Share workspace animations for review or developer handoff from the LottieFiles plugin for Figma.

Workspace sharing gives teammates and developers a stable asset page instead of a loose exported file. Use it when the animation needs review, download access, CDN links, or embed options.

How to access this

  1. Open the LottieFiles plugin in Figma.

  2. Open Workspace.

  3. Navigate to the animation file.

  4. Open the file detail view.

Share from Workspace

Use the file actions to open the asset in a browser or copy a shareable link when available. The asset page is the best place for review, download, CDN links, and embed options because it stays connected to the workspace version.

Handoff to developers

For developer handoff, share one of these:

  • Workspace asset URL - best when the developer needs preview, download, and CDN options in one place.

  • .lottie file - preferred for production handoff; smaller files with support for state machines, themes, and motion tokens.

  • Lottie JSON file - use only when the destination still requires legacy lottie-web compatibility.

Interactive Figma exports should be handed off as dotLottie and played with a dotLottie runtime.
