Move a file
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.
Here are some things to consider when moving a file:

Move a file to a project in a different team |
Before you can move a file to a project in a different team, you need to:
|
|
- 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.
To move multiple files at once:
- Hold Command (Mac) or Control (PC) while selecting multiple files.
- Right-click and select Move [X] Files.
You can only move multiple files at once if you have the required access in each selected 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…
- Search for a project or choose from the default options.
- Click Move.
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 using the steps above. However, you can:
- Move one or more files into a project and then transfer the project to another account. This requires both the sender and the receiver to be on a paid plan.
- Save a copy of a file to your computer 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.
