Who can use this feature
Supported on any team or plan.

Files in Figma are organized into projects. Each project has its own set of permissions, so moving a file may change who has access to it.

- In the file browser, find the file you’d like to move.
- Right click the file thumbnail and select Move file…
- Search for a project or choose from the default options.
- Click Move file.
- Open the file you’d like to move.
- Click an empty spot on the canvas to deselect any layers.
- Click the icon next to the file name and select Move to project…
- Search for a project or choose from the default options.

Tip: If you don’t see the project where you’d like to move the file, you might not have can edit permissions in the destination project.
Move a file between Figma accounts or organizations
It’s not possible to move a file between different Figma accounts or organizations. However, you can:
- Move one or more files into a project and then transfer the project.
- Save a local copy of a file and import it to a different account. If the file uses styles or components from a team library, it won’t receive any library updates after it is imported into a different account.
