Set an expiration on public links in design files

If you want to share a design file or prototype with a broad audience for a limited time, you can set an expiration on the file’s public link.

After a public link expires, Figma automatically changes the access setting on the file back to the last-used private setting. Anyone using the public link to access the file will no longer be able to do so. People at your organization with access to the file when it is set to private, and people invited to the file, will continue to have access.

Set an expiration on a public link

You can set a public link to expire as soon as one hour, or as long as one year, after the link is generated.

If you can’t set an expiry for as long as you’d like, or you need to set an expiration date every time you share a public link, your organization may require an expiration on public links.

1. Open the file or prototype and click Share in the toolbar.
2. Click Can view/Can edit to change the access setting on the file or prototype.
3. Change the access to Anyone.
4. Under Additional security, check Link expiration.
5. Choose from the available presets, or select Custom time.
6. Click Save.
