We’re thrilled to release Collection References in the CMS—a game-changing feature you’ve been asking for. Now, you can seamlessly connect items from one CMS collection to another, unlocking dynamic, reusable content across your entire site. No more tedious re-entering of related data. With reference fields, you can pull in details like an author’s name, bio, or avatar from a single source, ensuring consistency and saving you time. Plus, with multi-reference fields, you can link multiple items like tags and categories to any entry, offering you ultimate flexibility in structuring your content. And the best part? All of your updates are automatically reflected across all related entries. To help you dive right in, we’ve added a brand-new blog sample, giving you the perfect playground to explore, experiment, and master References.

We’re incredibly excited to introduce Plugins. As of today, anyone in the Framer community can use and contribute Plugins that extend the functionality of Framer. The new Plugin Marketplace has an initial collection of 30+ Plugins, ranging from creative Plugins like Dither and Doodles, to CMS integrations like Notion, and productivity Plugins like Google Search Console. This is only the beginning, as with this release we are relaunching our Developer docs with 100+ new Plugin APIs to help you achieve your Plugin vision. Learn more about Plugins on our new feature page or get started right away via the new Plugin menu in your project toolbar. We think you’ll enjoy building Plugins in Framer and we can’t wait to see your brilliant creations in the Marketplace.

In this update we’re introducing a new, simplified default for spring transitions in Framer. With time-based springs, you only need two properties to design amazing looking transitions: Time and Bounce. By getting control over duration, springs become much easier to mix with easing transitions and can be used reliably in animation sequences. Looking for ultimate control? The physics-based springs are just 1 click away. We think you’ll love these new animation options.

The August Update brings a new app icon and redesigned menus, adding search and scrolling. Our previous menus would infinitely nest, quickly taking over your entire screen and being quick to dismiss, especially on larger projects. We heard you—this wasn’t great. This release aims to fix these issues. Menus can now be scrolled, and you can filter any menu by typing. This works for any menu, from the main menu to any context menu, making things like assigning Variables in larger projects much faster. And that’s not all. For everything else, see the changelog below.

We’re excited to introduce our refreshed Publishing experience, with a brand new UI. The new interface clearly shows you the status of your deploy, from being optimized to having warnings or errors. If you have errors, a single click brings you to the element to fix, like a Form missing submission details. With Staging enabled, you can now publish straight to production without having to dive into Settings, making iteration in Framer faster than ever. We think you’ll love it.
Publish directly to production via the new tab on top
See who last published to production with one click
See optimization status, warnings, and errors inline
We now show domain (DNS) warnings inline too
