  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  Applies to Figma design and FigJam files.

  Anyone with can edit access in a team can create files and projects

  Projects

  Projects allow you to group your related design files together in a single space, like a folder in a file system. They're only available in teams. You can create teams for your own work, or for collaborating within a group.

  • Organization teams can create unlimited projects
  • Professional teams can create unlimited projects
  • Starter teams can create one project

  

  Structure projects

  Use projects to group files in any way that makes sense to you. The way your company or agency is organized may inform some of that structure.

  It's not possible to create subfolders within your projects. This is something to bear in mind when deciding how to structure your files and projects.

  Some approaches we've seen for projects:

  • Company resources like brand assets, templates, or presentations and slide decks
  • Component libraries and design systems
  • Projects with specific clients or agencies
  • Product or feature based projects
  • Cross-functional activities or projects
  • External files for usability testing, tutorials, or shared resources

  Best practices guide for team, project, and file organization →

  View projects

  Every project you create has its own project page where you can access all the project's files.

  

  • View contributors to the project. Most active editors are at the top, so you know exactly who to talk to about the project.
  • Add a description to communicate the context for the project. You can include links to websites or external files to share related resources with collaborators.
  • View, manage, and create new files within the project. Pin important files to the top of the project for easy access.
  • Click the project name to access project actions, like rename, delete, and favorite the project so it appears in the sidebar.
  • Share the project with others, manage team access, and update collaborator's permissions.

  Tip! Switch between List or Grid view or sort files on your desired order. Learn how to use the file browser →

  Share projects

  Team members can access all projects within a team from the team workspace. By default, team members can access projects based on their team-level permissions.

  You can also invite external collaborators to individual projects within a team.

  Files

  Figma has two products: Figma design and FigJam. These products appear as different files types in Figma, each with their own set of tools and features.

  • Organization teams can create unlimited files
  • Professional teams can create unlimited files
  • Starter teams can create three Figma design files and unlimited FigJam files

  Tip! Use the icons to identify Design files and FigJam files in the file browser. Compare Figma design and FigJam files and features →

  Figma design files

  Figma design files are powerful, collaborative environments where you turn your ideas into responsive and interactive designs.

  They're tailored to the needs of designers, UX writers, and developers. You can access all the tools, features, and functionality you need to create and design digital experiences.

  Use Figma design files to create and maintain artifacts and assets, when detail and precision are of the utmost importance.

  Pages

  Pages give you an extra level of organization within files and projects. Design files can contain multiple pages, giving you more space to explore your ideas.

  Every page has a canvas where all of your frames, groups, and layers live. The canvas has a finite size of -65,000 through +65,000 on each axis.

  • Create pages for different stages of the design process, or indicate which designs are ready for development.
  • Have separate pages for different milestones in a project, including static pages for design critiques or feedback sessions.
  • Create dedicated pages for your main components and style definitions. Get in the habit of moving new components to the dedicated page.
  • Create pages for exploring user flows. Currently, you can create multiple prototypes in a page, but you can only preview one flow at a time.
  • Add visual clues to help collaborators identify appropriate work. Like "spacer" pages to create more distinction between pages or emojis to communicate purpose and status.

  Note: Pages contribute to the overall memory usage in a file. Consider dedicated research files if you have an image-heavy discovery process - perhaps a FigJam file!

  You can add links between files to other files and related resources to direct anyone to further learnings.

  FigJam files

  FigJam files are online whiteboards, an approachable space where anyone can take part. They tap into the spontaneous, joyful nature of working together.

  FigJam files have curated tools and an infinite board for exploration and discovery. They're great for meetings, brainstorms, diagrams, and research.

  File formats

  Both Figma design and FigJam files use their own file formats, which can only be opened in Figma.

  You can save a local copy of a file in .fig (Figma design) or .jam (FigJam) format. This is useful if you want to back up your files if you go offline unexpectedly, or if you want to move files between Figma accounts.

  Figma doesn't include any version history or comments when you save a local copy of a file. When you reimport this file, Figma will treat this like a new file and it won't be connected to the original.

  If you want to export your design to other tools, we recommend that you copy and paste the entire frames, if supported, or export SVGs of your frames and import them into other tools.

  Note: There are a number of ways to import images, vectors, and designs into Figma. Figma also supports imports of .sketch files. Learn how to import Sketch files →

  Create and view files

  Create Figma design or FigJam files inside team projects, or in your own drafts folder. You can always move files between drafts, projects, and teams as your designs evolve.

  Create either file from the file browser:

  1. Click New in the top-right corner of the browser.
  2. Select Design file or FigJam file
  3. Figma will open the file in the appropriate product.

  Learn to create and manage files →

  Share files

  Files are more than documents, they're collaborative spaces that let you bring everyone into the design process.

  Whether you want to walk internal stakeholders through designs, brainstorm a new project, or get copy suggestions from writers - you can share your FigJam or Figma designs and start collaborating.

• Set custom thumbnails for files

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  Applies to Figma design files only.

  Anyone with can edit access to the file can set a custom thumbnail.

  Every design file will have a thumbnail that shows you a preview of a file's contents. Figma shows this thumbnail wherever the file appears in the file browser.

  Figma will base the file thumbnail on the contents of the first page in your file, by default.

  You can use the Set as thumbnail setting to choose any frame to use as the thumbnail. This is a great way to set expectations and communicate the file's contents.

  Thumbnail dimensions

  The exact dimensions of a file thumbnail depends on your display. To make sure your thumbnails aren't awkwardly cropped, we recommend setting the frame’s dimensions to 1920 x 960.

  Tip! Use the Plugin / file cover preset from the Figma Community frame templates in the right sidebar.

  Figma will always display anything within the 1600 x 960 “safe zone” of the frame. If you use any other dimensions, Figma will scale your selected frame so that it fills the entire thumbnail.

  

  Note: Figma also uses these thumbnail dimensions for Community files. This is something to be mindful of when you publish a file to the Figma Community.

  Set a file's thumbnail

  1. Open the design file and find the frame you want to use as the thumbnail.
  2. Figma will scale the selected frame so it fills the thumbnail. We recommend setting the frame’s dimensions to 1920 x 960 for a proper fit.
  3. Right-click on the frame in the canvas.
  4. Select Set as thumbnail from the options:
  5. Figma will update the file's thumbnail and show the custom thumbnail icon next to the frame.

     

  Want to remove the frame from the thumbnail? Right-click on the frame in the canvas and select Restore default thumbnail. Figma will use the contents of the first page in your file as the default thumbnail.

  FigJam file thumbnails

  By default, Figma uses an overview of the entire FigJam board to create a file's cover.

  While it's currently only possible to create custom thumbnails in Figma design files, you can still use them for FigJam file covers.

  1. Create a frame to use as a custom thumbnail.
  2. Copy/paste the frame to your FigJam file.
  3. Right-click on the frame in the FigJam board.
  4. Select Set as thumbnail from the options.
• Create new projects

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan. You can only create projects in teams.

  Only editors, admins and owners of teams or projects can make changes to projects.

  Projects allow you to group related files together in a single workspace. Team members can access all projects within a team from the team workspace.

  • Starter or Education teams: team members can access projects based on their team-level permissions.
  • Professional or Organization teams: set permissions at a project level and create view-only or invite-only (private) projects. This allows you to give team members permissions on a project that differ from their team-level permissions.

  👀 View-only projects

  By default, only the project owner can edit the view-only project. Team members can only view files in this project, even if they have edit permissions on the team.

  The project owner can allow team members and external collaborators to edit the project by inviting them to the project with edit permissions.

  🔒 Invite-only projects

  Invite-only projects are private projects that aren't available to all members of the team. Team members can only access invite-only projects if they are invited to them.

  This is perfect for projects which need a smaller group of collaborators, or for confidential products or features. For example: a subset of team members that build and maintain the team's design system.

  Learn more about projects →

  Note: You can still publish components from view-only or invite-only projects to a team's libraries. Only people with view access to that file/project can use those styles and components.

• Create new files

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan.

  Applies to both Figma design and FigJam files.

  Anyone with a Figma account can create Figma design or FigJam files in their drafts. Only people with can edit access to a team can create files in that team.

  Figma has two products: Figma design and FigJam. These products appear as different files types in Figma, each with their own set of tools and features.

  • Figma design files are powerful, collaborative environments where you turn your ideas into responsive and interactive designs. Use Figma design files to create and maintain artifacts and assets, when detail and precision are of the utmost importance.
  • FigJam files are online whiteboards, an approachable space where anyone can take part. They tap into the spontaneous, joyful nature of working together. Use FigJam files for meetings, brainstorms, diagrams, and research.

  Compare Figma design and FigJam →

  Create 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.

  There are a few ways to create a new file in your drafts:

  • A

    Visit the link

    Figma design file: type figma.com/new in the address bar or visit https://figma.com/new

    FigJam file: type figma.com/jam in the address bar or visit https://figma.com/jam

  Disable this setting from the file browser by heading to Admin settings > Settings > Other and toggling the New file template picker setting off.

• Create and manage pages

  Who can use this feature

  • Supported on any team or plan.
  • Applies to Figma design files only.
  • Anyone with can view access can view and explore pages in a design file.
  • Anyone with can edit access to a file can create and manage pages.

  Design files can contain multiple pages, giving you more space to explore.

  Each page has a canvas where you arrange your frames, groups, and layers. Pages have a finite size of -65,000 through +65,000 on each axis.

  Pages also give you an extra layer of organization within your files. This is something to think about when it comes to structuring your files and projects.

  • Create pages for different stages of the design process, or show which designs are ready for development with a dedicated page.
  • Have separate pages for different milestones in a project, including static pages for design critiques or feedback sessions.
  • Create dedicated pages for your main components and style definitions. Get in the habit of moving new components to the dedicated page.
  • Create pages for exploring each user flow. Currently, you can create multiple prototypes in a page, but you can only preview one flow.
  • Add visual clues to help collaborators identify appropriate work. Like "spacer" pages to create more distinction between pages or emojis to communicate purpose and status.

• Pin files to projects

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any teams or plans.

  Anyone with can edit access to the project can pin a file to that project.

  Pin important files and current work in progress to the top of your project page. This makes it easy to find and access those files. Use pinned files to:

  • Quickly access files without needing to search through all files in the project
  • Show collaborators where to start with a project
  • Find key files and information related to that project
  • Highlight current work that's ready for review
  • Feature templates, design systems, or UI kits

  Figma will pin a square thumbnail with the file's name, as well as the name of the person who pinned it. It's not possible to adjust how Figma displays pinned files, or change the order they appear in.

  1. Open the project page in the file browser.
  2. Right-click on the file and choose Pin to project
  3. Figma will add the file to the Pinned section at the top of the page.

  

  Want to remove a pinned file? Right-click on the File and select Remove from pinned. You can do this from the pinned location, or the file itself.

• View a file's version history

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan. Members of Starter teams can only view 30 days of a file's version history. Members of Professional and Education team or Figma Organizations can access a file's entire version history. Upgrade the team to access unlimited version history.

  Anyone with Can view access to the file can view and browse the file's version history.

  Only people with Can edit access to the file can create, name, remove, or restore a file's version history.

  Keep track of changes you've made to your files with version history. Explore a timeline of events dating back to the file's creation.

  • View a version to pan around and see a snapshot in time.
  • Restore previous versions to edit layers and export assets.
  • Duplicate versions to create development-ready files for handoff.
  • Share a link to a specific version with other Editors.
  • Create versions to make it easier to view and access a set of changes.
  • Add names and descriptions to autosaved versions.

  Figma saves your work by adding checkpoints to the file's version history. Figma records a new checkpoint after 30 minutes of inactivity in the file. If more than one person is editing a file, both contributors will need to be inactive for 30 minutes for Figma to create a version.

  Yuhki starts editing his file at 9:00am, he takes a short break at 11:00am for 15 minutes before resuming work. At 1:00pm he heads off for an hour to grab some lunch. Figma will save everything he worked on from 9:00am to 1:00pm as one version.

  Later that afternoon, Yuhki and Jenny work together in the file from 2:00pm. Yuhki leaves at 4:00pm for a meeting, but Jenny continues working until 6:00pm. Figma records everything Yuhki and Jenny worked on between 2:00pm and 6:00pm as one version. As Jenny made more changes during that session, Figma lists her as the main contributor.

  Note: Version history isn't a substitute for version control. There isn't currently a way to manage conflicts and merge changes in a file or design system.

  Tip! Users working in their Drafts or in free Starter teams can only access up to 30 days of version history. Upgrade to a paid team to immediately access the full version history of any existing files.

  Access version history

  To access a file's version history, you will need to have at least can view access to the file. However, it's not possible for Viewers to make changes to a file's version history. This including creating or naming versions, as well as restoring previous versions of the file.

  Access a file's version history from the file name menu.

  1. Click on an empty spot in the canvas to deselect any layers.
  2. In the toolbar, click the next to the file name.
  3. Select Show Version History from the options.
  4. Figma will show the file's version history in the right sidebar.

  

  View a timeline of versions dating from the current date and time, to the file's creation.

  1. Explore versions of the file that you've created. This includes versions you create when you publish changes to a library. Next to each version you'll see:
     • Name of the version
     • Description of the changes made
     • The time and date the version was created
     • The name and avatar of the main contributor.
  2. View the date and time for checkpoints that Figma has automatically saved. Figma will group autosave versions, click to expand and view each autosave. You will need to name a version to add a title and description of your changes.
  3. Click Show older to explore more of a file's history.

  

  Note: Figma will also add autosave checkpoints to your file in the event that you lose your internet connection or Figma crashes. Learn more about unsaved changes →

  Create and name versions

  You can create and name new versions in your file. This is great for capturing a snapshot of the file at a specific time, or record a specific set of changes.

  You can add details to describe the changes you’ve made in this design iteration, or any other details that may be relevant, like a milestone name or related task.

  Create a new version

  1. Open the menu and select Save to Version History. Or use the keyboard shortcuts:
     • Mac: ⌘ Command ⌥ Option S
     • Windows: Ctrl Alt S
  2. Add a Title and Description to summarize your changes and why you made them. You can use this space to add references to milestones or tasks.
     • Figma clips titles longer than 25 characters.
     • To see the full descriptions at a glance make sure your descriptions are less than 140 characters.
     • You can add URLs here, but Figma doesn't turn these into clickable links.
  3. Click Save to create a new version.

  Name an existing version

  You can also name an existing version, to make a version easier to identify in the version history.

  1. Open version history in the right sidebar.
  2. Click on the version to browse the version in the viewport.
  3. In the right sidebar, click next to the version and select Name This Version

  View a version

  View another version to see a snapshot of the file at that date and time. When viewing a version of a file you can:

  • Use the page list to view other pages in the file.
  • Click and drag to pan around the canvas.

  It's not possible to select, copy, or export any assets from a version of a file. While you can select layers in the Layers panel, Figma won't select them in the canvas or allow you to apply any actions to them.

  Duplicate a version

  Duplicate a version of a file to create a new file from that version. Duplicate to share a specific version or point in time with a developer, or use as a starting point for further iteration.

  Collaborators will be able to select, edit, copy, or export assets from the duplicate. They won't be able to access any comments or version history from the original file.

  To duplicate a version:

  1. Open version history in the right sidebar.
  2. Click on the version to browse the version in the viewport.
  3. In the right sidebar, click next to the version and select Duplicate
  4. Figma will show a notification that the version has been duplicated. Click Open to open the file in a new tab.

  Share public and private files → 
  Share files in an Organization → 
  Share designs with developer handoff →

  Restore a previous version

  When you are browsing previous versions of a file you have the option of reverting to that file. This will allow you to view, copy, edit, or export anything in the canvas.

  You can use this process to:

  • View earlier iterations of a design.
  • Find and copy accidentally deleted assets.
  • Access files that have reached the memory limit.

  This is a non-destructive action, so you can still access the current version in the file's version history.

  Figma will keep comments from all versions in the file, so restoring a version won't remove any comments from later versions. This includes comments you've already resolved.

  For example: A previous version of the file only has 3 comments and a later version has a total of 9 comments. Figma will keep all 9 comments, even if you restore the previous version.

  
  

  To view and restore a previous version:

  1. Open version history in the right sidebar.

  2. Select the version to preview it in the viewport.

  3. In the right sidebar, click next to the version and select Restore This Version.

  4. Figma will add two autosave checkpoints to the file's version history.

     • A checkpoint that saves the current version up until you clicked Restore This Version. This as an autosaved version with a timestamp that matches the current time.
     • A checkpoint at the same timestamp for the version you just restored.

     Tip! Name these versions to make it easier to find them again.

  5. Click the Edit current version to exit version history.

  Restore from version

  You can also restore a previous version of a file from the file browser. This is useful if you're no longer able to access a file's version history due to memory or performance issues.

  1. Hold down the modifier keys and click on the file in the file browser
     • Mac: ⇧ Shift ⌃ Control ⌥ Option
     • Windows: Alt Shift
  2. Select Restore from version.
  3. Click Restore next to the appropriate version

  Share a version

  File links are live by default. When you share a link to a file, anyone viewing the file will see the latest version of the file.

  If there's a particular iteration you'd like a collaborator to see, you can also share a previous version of the file. This is handy if you'd like to continue iterating on a design, without that person seeing your changes.

  Collaborators will need to have can edit access to view a previous version of a file.

  Note: It's not possible select, copy, or export any assets from a version. If you want to handoff designs to a developer, we recommend creating a designated page for them in the current version.

  1. Open version history in the right sidebar.
  2. In the right sidebar, click next to the version and select Copy link.
  3. Share the link with any collaborator that has can edit access to the file.

  Delete a version

  It's not possible to remove checkpoints from the file's history. It is possible to delete the information related to some versions, including:

  • New versions you have created
  • Versions you have named
  • Versions Figma created any time you published changes to a library

  If you delete the version information, Figma will treat this like an autosave version and show only a date and time. This won't remove any contents from your file, or prevent you from viewing that version of the file.

  

  You can't undo the action of deleting version information. You can name the autosaved version again to create a new checkpoint in the file's version history.

  1. Open version history in the right sidebar.
  2. Find the version you want to delete.
  3. In the right sidebar, click next to the version and select Delete Version Info.
  4. Figma will remove that version from the file's history.
• Favorite projects

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported any team or plan.

  Only Editors, team admins and owners can make changes to projects

  Caution: This action will delete the project for all collaborators and remove the project from the team. It's not possible to restore deleted projects, or the files within them.

  You can duplicate deleted files, but these are copies of the original file and won't include any comments or version history from the original file.

  If you no longer need a project, you can delete it. When you delete a project, Figma will move all the files in that project to the deleted files folder.

  You can delete the project from a couple of places in the file browser:
