Introducing the Google Sheets Plugin, now live on the Framer Marketplace. With this release, you can easily sync any content from a Google Sheet right into the Framer CMS in just a couple of clicks. We know that your data doesn’t always make sense to keep directly into the CMS, whether that is form submissions, event schedules, metrics, or more. Now, that data can easily be synced into your site, allowing you to utilise all the benefits of having your content in the CMS. Get started via the Plugin menu or try it on your projects through the Marketplace. This Plugin is completely open source and uses our new Plugin CMS APIs, you can check out the source code or learn how to create your own CMS Plugins with our guide.

Introducing Variable Fonts in Framer. When selecting Fonts, you’ll see a refreshed Font Picker with new categories—Google Fonts, Fontshare, and Variable, which allows you to filter all web and custom fonts with Variable Font support. You can find the Variable properties available for each typeface in the property panel, right next to the OpenType options. These properties are dynamic, they differ per font. Some will support tons of options, like Roboto Flex, yet many will support Width, Weight, and Slant. Following Fit Text, Text Balance, Text Effects, Text Masking, and OpenType, bringing Variable Font support makes typography in Framer better than ever. All of these features can be combined, unlocking unparalleled levels of creative freedom. And yes, Variable Fonts in Framer can be animated too. Using Component Variants and Interactions, you can bring your typography to life. We’re incredibly excited about the flexibility this brings.

The October Update brings a ton of quality-of-life updates and bug fixes. OpenType is now available for all Form Inputs, and those now support Max Length as well. A new Draggable style allows you to block user-drags of images and links. Component Variants can now be sorted alphabetically with a single click. Relative Overlays now support the Close Overlay interaction in Components. And if you hold ⌃ while dragging a Layer in a Stack, you can instantly make it absolutely positioned.

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.
