The Red Marker Figma plugin is a “private” Figma plugin and is not available on the public plugin store. This means, to install and use the plugin:
Your organization will need to be on Figma’s Organization plan or Enterprise plan; and
You will need a user with Organization Admin status to complete the installation, via the Figma desktop app.
Your organisation will need to have Two Factor Authentication enabled to ensure the use of the plugin.
Once the private plugin has been installed and enabled in the desktop app, it will automatically be available for all your Figma users, in both the desktop app and browser.
If you are uninstalling your current Figma plugin before re-installing an updated version, please see our article here.

Under “Publish to”, select your organization.
Click “Publish”.

Red Marker is now accessible to all users in your organization!
Before the plugin can be used effectively, you will also need to Allow Red Marker access to your documents. If you are updating the Red Marker plugin, rather than installing for the first time, you don't need to repeat this step.
Moving forward, you will also need to install updates to the plugin as required. Your Client Success manager will contact you with updates to the plugin as they are published. When the updated plugin is published to your organisation, users will lose access to the old version of the plugin.
