Create a file in your drafts

Everyone with a Figma account will have their own drafts folder. You can think of your drafts like a sketchbook or notebook, a place where you can explore early ideas and experiment with different concepts.

Drafts are private to you, only people that you specifically invite to your files will have access to any files in this space. There are no limits on how many files you can create in your drafts.
