  1. Right-click anywhere on your Figma project canvas
  2. Hover your mouse over Plugins ▶
  3. Hover your mouse over Saved plugins ▶

# Quickly re-running the plugin

After you've run the HyperCrop plugin once in a Figma file, you'll be able to quickly re-launch it by clicking the HyperCrop icon in the right-hand side Figma column (under the "Plugin" subheading).

# Upgrading to a Pro account
