# Local Document - Figma File Token Storage

## Local Figma Document Token Storage

By default, Tokens Studio will store your Design Tokens locally in the Figma file you are working in.

This limits your ability to share your Tokens across multiple Figma files. A **sync provider** is required for a [multi-file workflow in Figma](https://docs.tokens.studio/figma/non-local-files).

Once you have added one or more Sync Providers to Tokens Studio, you can temporarily store your tokens locally in the Figma file. This is helpful for offline work, saving backups of your Figma files, or prepping a file to share with other people who won't have access to your sync provider.

### Steps in the plugin for Figma

Open the Tokens Studio plugin and navigate to the **settings** page.

* Navigate to the **sync provider** section.
* Select the **local document** option.
* A confirmation dialog appears asking you to **confirm this change**
  * If you select **cancel**
    * The modal will close, and your current sync provider settings will remain.
  * If you select **yes**
    * Tokens currently in the plugin will be stored in the current Figma file
    * The **push** and **pull** actions from the bottom of the plugin won't be available.
      * Changes made to tokens will remain in the current Figma and can't be shared in other Figma files.
