      • Permissions: Invites to a File, Project or Team
      • Permissions: You're made an Editor or Admin on a File, Project or Team
      • Comments: New comments or replies on a File you're contributing to
      • Comments: Any time someone @mentions you in a File
      • Community: A Figma user likes or installs a Plugin you've published
      • Community: A Figma user likes or duplicates a File you've published

      You can view and adjust your notification settings across a few different channels.

      In Figma Notifications

      You can view your Notifications in Figma from the File Browser.

      You can find the notification bell next to your name, in the top-left corner of the screen. If you have a new notification, we display a blue dot over the bell:

      From the Notification modal, you can view a list of your last 50 notifications. You can also:

      1. Accept or Decline invitations
      2. Click on the notification to open the relevant file or resource
      3. Click the Mark all as read link to clear any unread notifications

      Note: It's not possible to disable these type of notifications. We have designed these notifications to be unobtrusive, so you can check these on your own terms.

      Email Notifications

      You can determine if you would like to receive notifications for new comments.

      This will alert you via email to any comments collaborators have made on your Files.

      You can enable or disable these settings at any time:

      Connect Slack to your Figma Account using our Slack integration. This allows you to receive notifications in Slack when a team member comments on a Project's File.

      • Notifications will include both the File name and the Team Member's name. There's isn't currently a way to customize what information is included.
      • Notifications are set at a Figma Project level. You can only set one channel per Project.
      • You can send notifications to Public or Private Slack channels. Send notifications to the Slackbot channel to create your own personal notification stream.

    • Switch between your Personal and Organization space

      Before you Start

      Who can use this feature

      Users on the Figma Organization Plan

      Everyone with a Figma account has their own Personal File Browser (not only Organizations).

      Within your Figma account, you will have both an Organization and a Personal Space within a single account.

      Your Organization space includes all the teams that are included in your Organization. Your Personal space is where you can find all the teams you are a member of, that aren't part of that Organization.

      We've used the term personal to distinguish between the two spaces, but this space may not be your own. If you are signed up for Figma with a company email, the Organization will have ownership of content in both spaces.

      There are some limitations around what resources you will have access to in your Personal Space.

      In your Personal File Browser you can:

      ✅ Access Teams that aren't part of the Organization 
      ✅ Access external Teams you have joined using your company email 
      ✅ Run plugins that aren't whitelisted by the Organization

      In your Personal File Browser you can't:

      ❌ Access Libraries that are shared within Teams in the Organization 
      ❌ Access Libraries that are shared across the Organization 
      ❌ Access Fonts that have been uploaded to the Organization 
      ❌ Run plugins that are Private to the Organization

      Switch File Browsers

      You can switch between your Personal and Organization File Browser.

      Click the Organization name in the bottom-left corner:

      • Select Personal File Browser to open the Personal File Browser.
      • Select <Organization name> to open the Organization File Browser.

      Note: It's not possible to move Files, Projects or Teams between your Personal and Organization File Browser. Make sure you are in the correct File Browser when creating new Files and Projects!
