# FAQ

Answers to common questions designers ask while working with Chart plugin.

### Can I reuse a chart in multiple files?

Yes. Insert the chart, then copy and paste it into other Figma files. The embedded metadata travels with the frame, so you can still run **Update Chart** later.

### How do I share templates with teammates?

As long as everyone uses the same license email (only for TEAM accounts), templates sync to the cloud. Remind teammates to reopen plugin after new templates are saved.

### Why doesn’t my chart match the brand colours?

Apply or update a template. If you have multiple brand modes, create separate templates (`Brand Light`, `Brand Dark`) and document when to use each.

### Can I export charts as PNG or SVG files?

Yes. After inserting the chart into Figma, use Figma’s export panel to export as PNG/SVG/PDF. The plugin itself inserts vector layers ready for export.

### Does the plugin support dark mode charts?

Absolutely. Create a template with dark backgrounds and light text. Save it as `Dark Mode` and apply it whenever you design dark-themed screens.

### How do I update data without losing styling?

Use **Update Chart** from the relaunch menu. This keeps styles, templates, and metadata intact while refreshing the data source.

### Is there a way to lock chart edits?

Once the chart is inserted, you can lock the Figma frame to prevent accidental edits. For template protection, restrict who has access to manage templates in the plugin.
