## FAQs
If you can't see your projects, check that:
* You’re signed into the correct Dovetail workspace
* You have access to those projects in Dovetail
* The MCP connection is active
If there are no search results, make sure:
* Your query matches available content
* You have permission to view the data
* The workspace is correctly connected
If the connection failed try:
* Reconnecting the MCP integration
* Re-authorizing permissions
* Refreshing Figma Make
If your workspace doesn’t appear as a selectable option when setting up the Figma Make integration, this is usually due to how authentication works.
Dovetail treats each login method (for example: Google login, SSO, email/password) as a separate identity. The workspaces available to you depend on the login method you used to sign in.
### How to fix it
To make your workspace appear in Figma Make:
1. Log out of Dovetail completely.
2. Log back in to Dovetail using the **same login method you use for Figma**.
3. Open and access the correct workspace directly in Dovetail (outside of the Figma flow).
Once you’ve accessed the workspace using that login method, it will become available as an option when connecting through Figma Make.
We also recommend connecting Figma Make and Dovetail within an incognito browser and following these steps within the incognito browser:
1. Log into Dovetail
2. Open a new tab within that **same** incognito window and log in to Figma (using the same login method you used for Dovetail)
3. Connect to Dovetail via Figma Make
