# 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.
