Transfer a project

When you transfer a project, all its files move to the recipient’s team or organization. The recipient decides whether to keep or remove collaborators from the sending team.

Before you start:

• Transfers typically take around 5 minutes to complete. During this time, project members may experience limited access.
• If a transferred file includes a published library, files in the sender’s team or organization will no longer receive library updates after the transfer. We recommend keeping libraries and their files together.

There are three steps to transfer a project:

1. Recipient: Get the destination team URL
2. Sender: Make the transfer request
3. Recipient: Accept the transfer

1. Recipient: Get the destination team URL

Before you can move a project, the recipient needs to choose a destination.

An admin in the receiving team or organization must provide a destination URL. This tells Figma where project should go.

1. Open the file browser by logging in to your account at figma.com.
   • If you’re in a Figma file, click the  Figma menu > Back to files.
2. Navigate to the destination team page:
   • Professional plan: Select  All projects from the left sidebar.
   • Organization or Enterprise plan without workspaces enabled: Select  All teams from the left sidebar, then choose a team.
   • Enterprise plan with workspaces enabled: Select  All workspaces from the left sidebar, then choose a team from the Your teams tab.
3. Copy the entire URL in your browser’s address bar.
4. Share this URL with the admin transferring the project.

2. Sender: Make a transfer request

Next, the project sender needs to make the transfer request.

1. Open the file browser by logging in to your account at figma.com.
   • If you’re in a Figma file, click the  Figma menu > Back to files.
2. View a list of projects within a team.
   • On the Starter or Professional plan, select  All projects from the left sidebar.
   • On the Organization or Enterprise plan, select  All teams from the left sidebar. Then, select a team.
   • On the Enterprise plan with workspaces enabled, select  All workspaces from the left sidebar. Then, select a team from the Your teams tab.
3. Select the project you’d like to transfer.
4. Click the down arrow next to the project name and select Settings.
5. Click Transfer.
6. Review the information in the modal and press Next.
7. Enter the destination URL and email address of your contact at the other company and press Request transfer.

3. Recipient: Accept the transfer

When a transfer request is sent, Figma emails all admins in the destination plan to review and accept it.

• On the Professional plan, these are team admins.
• On the Organization or Enterprise plans, these are organization admins.

You can choose to either Remove collaborators, or Keep all existing collaborators.

• Remove collaborators: Everyone will lose access to the project except the admin who accepts the transfer and the designated contact person.
• Keep all existing collaborators: Members from the sending party with a role on the project will get a View seat in your team or organization.

Send a copy of a project

When you send a copy, Figma duplicates the project and all its files to the recipient’s team or organization. Only members of the destination have access to the copy. Branches, comments, and version history remain with the originals.

There are three steps to transfer a project:

1. Recipient: Get the destination team URL
2. Sender: Send the copy
3. Recipient: Accept the copy

1. Recipient: Get the destination team URL

Before you can send a copy of a project, the recipient needs to choose a location for it.

An admin at the receiving team or organization will need to provide the sender with a destination URL. This tells Figma where project should go. To get this URL:

1. Open the file browser by logging in to your account at figma.com.
   • If you’re in a Figma file, click the  Figma menu > Back to files.
2. Navigate to the destination team page:
   • Professional plan: Select  All projects from the left sidebar.
   • Organization or Enterprise plan without workspaces enabled: Select  All teams from the left sidebar, then choose a team.
   • Enterprise plan with workspaces enabled: Select  All workspaces from the left sidebar, then choose a team from the Your teams tab.
3. Copy the entire URL in your browser’s address bar.
4. Share this URL with the admin transferring the project.

2. Sender: Send the copy

1. Open the file browser by logging in to your account at figma.com.
   • If you’re in a Figma file, click the  Figma menu > Back to files.
2. View a list of projects within a team:
   • On the Starter or Professional plan, select  All projects from the left sidebar.
   • On the Organization or Enterprise plan, select  All teams from the left sidebar. Then, select a team.
   • On the Enterprise plan with workspaces enabled, select  All workspaces from the left sidebar. Then, choose a team from the Your teams tab.
3. Select a project.
4. Click the down arrow next to the project name and select Settings.
5. Click Send a copy.
6. Review the information in the modal and press Next.
7. Enter the destination URL and email address of your contact at the other organization and press Send.

3. Recipient: Accept the copy

When someone sends you a transfer request, Figma will send you an email asking you to review and accept the transfer.

It takes around 5 minutes to copy the project between companies. Once the transfer is complete, you can find the project by navigating to it in the file browser.

Transfer a team

When you transfer a team, all its projects and files move to the recipient organization.

Before you start:

• The transfer typically completes in about 5 minutes. Team members may have limited access during this time.
• Transferred teams retain their team access settings, whether that's open to anyone in the organization, or Only those invited.
• If a transferred file includes a published library, files in the sender’s organization will no longer receive updates after the transfer.
• When you transfer a team yourself, the following billing and seat implications apply:

  • When transferring a Starter team: All users join the the receiving organization with a View seat.

  • When transferring a Professional team: All users join the receiving organization with a View seat, unless they already have a paid seat in the destination organization, in which case they retain that seat. Any paid seats on the original team transfer as available, prorated seats to the destination organization.

    The receiving organization will get a pro-rated credit for any remaining time on your plan. This credit gets applied at the organization's next invoice after the transfer is complete. For example: Let's say you transfer your team halfway through a monthly billing period. When the transfer is complete, we'll give the receiving organization a credit to cover the second half of that month.

  • When transferring an Organization or Enterprise team: All users with any role on any of the team files or projects join the receiving organization with a View seat, unless they already have a paid seat in the destination organization, in which case they retain that seat.

There are three steps to transfer a team:

1. Recipient: Provide the destination URL
2. Sender: Make the transfer request
3. Recipient: Accept the transfer

1. Recipient: Provide the destination URL
