Use Export to Figma to bring a captured flow into your Figma file. BenchCanvas generates a link with your frame and annotation choices; the BenchCanvas Import Figma plugin reads that link and builds the layout on a new page.

​
Install the Figma plugin

1

Open the plugin on Figma Community

Install BenchCanvas Import from Figma Community.
2

Run it in a Design file

Open a Figma Design file, then run Plugins → BenchCanvas Import.

​
Export from BenchCanvas

1

Open Export to Figma

From the project top bar, click the Figma icon next to Export.
2

Choose what to import

Select the frames to include, and toggle comments, sticky notes, and connector lines.
3

Copy the link

BenchCanvas prepares a public share link with your options. Copy Link for the Figma plugin.
4

Paste in Figma

Paste the link into the BenchCanvas Import plugin and click Import.
The plugin creates a new page named BenchCanvas · {project title} with:
  • Screenshot frames for each screen
  • Flow groups as Figma sections
  • Sticky notes
  • Comment pins and callouts (visual markers, not native Figma comments)
  • Curved connectors between screens

​
Requirements

  • The project must be public (Export to Figma enables sharing automatically if needed).
  • You need the BenchCanvas Import plugin installed in Figma.
Export to Figma is ideal when discovery work lives in BenchCanvas but you want screens, notes, and flows next to your design work in Figma.
Private projects cannot be imported. If you turn a project back to private later, the link stops working until sharing is enabled again.
