  Add annual seats

  The Add annual seats setting allows you to perform a few different actions:

  • Switch from a monthly subscription to an annual subscription.
  • Consolidate your billing and add any extra seats to your annual subscription.
  • Update your annual subscription and purchase editors for the following billing period.

  You can find this in the Plan and billing section of the Settings tab:

  

  • 1

    Switch to an annual subscription

    If you are on a monthly plan, Figma will bill you for your plan every month. Figma bases your plan price on the number of editors currently on your Professional team.

    To reduce admin, you can choose to switch to an annual subscription instead. This allows you to pay for an entire year of Figma upfront. When you switch, Figma will charge you for your annual subscription at your next monthly billing date.

    1. Select the Add annual seats option.
    2. View the current Number of editors included and the expected Subscription cost.
    3. Every Editor in your team takes up "Seat". If you plan on adding more collaborators to your team, you can Add more seats to your annual plan.
    4. Enter the number in the field provided. Click outside of the field to apply. You can still add extra editors to your subscription throughout the billing period.
    5. Click the Accept terms and upgrade button to complete the process. Figma will charge you for the annual subscription at your next monthly billing date

    Tip! You can choose to renew your annual subscription the following year. Figma will send a reminder 30 days before your annual subscription is due to renew.

  • 2

    Consolidate billing

    Figma will charge you for any new editors you add on a monthly basis. This means you will have both an annual subscription, and a monthly subscription for any extra editors. We refer to this as "co-terming".

    To simplify your account administration, you can convert your monthly seats to an annual subscription. Figma will charge you a pro-rated fee, which covers those editor seats for the rest of your annual billing period.

    1. Select the Add annual seats option.
    2. Figma will show you a breakdown of the expected pro-rated fee for the remaining months of your annual subscription.
    3. Click Convert to add those seats to your annual subscription. Figma will charge the pro-rated fee at the end of your current monthly billing period.

    Note: This is a manual process. You need to repeat this process every time you want to add extra editors to your annual subscription.

  • 3

    Renew annual subscription

    On an annual subscription, Figma will send any billing contacts a reminder 30 days before the renewal date. You can use the renewal process to:

    • Purchase extra editor seats for your next year of Figma
    • Remove any editors or members who don't need access
    • Cancel your subscription to prevent it from renewing
    1. Select the Add annual seats option.
    2. Figma will show you the total Number of editors included and the total Subscription cost.
    3. Add more seats to your annual plan if you plan on adding or removing collaborators. Each editor in your team occupies a "seat".
    4. Enter the updated number in the field. Click outside of the field to apply.
    5. Click the Accept terms and upgrade button to complete the process.
    6. Figma will update the number of editors included in your annual plan. You won't be charged until your actual annual billing date.

    Caution: If you don't make any changes to your plan, your annual subscription will auto-renew. You will need to cancel your subscription for the Professional plan to prevent your annual subscription from renewing. Learn how to cancel your team plan →

  Change payment method

  When you upgrade to a Professional plan, you will need to enter a credit card. Figma will use these credit card details for your future subscription payments.

  If the original payee has left the team, or you want to change the card on file, you can update your details.

  1. Open the team page and select Settings at the top of the page.
  2. Click the Change payment method setting.
  3. Enter the new credit card details in the fields provided.
  4. Click Use this card to update.

  Change billing contact

  Figma sends the billing contact for your team reminders for any upcoming payments or subscription renewals. By default, Figma will set the owner of the team as the billing contact.

  If you want those reminders to go to someone else, you can change this to another address.

  1. Open the team page and select Settings at the top of the page.
  2. Click the Change billing contact setting.
  3. Enter the email address in the field provided.
  4. Click Submit to update your billing contact.

  Tip! You can enter multiple email addresses, as long as you separate them by a comma. For example: billing@acme.com, accounting@acme.com

  Cancel plan

  Cancel the Professional plan to remove the team subscription and downgrade to a Starter team. You will also need to cancel your subscription to delete a Professional team.

  If you'd like to delete your Professional team, you will also need to cancel your subscription.

  This will downgrade your subscription to a Starter team, which we limit to 2 Editors and 3 Projects.

  You will still have access to the features of a Professional plan for the remainder of your current billing period. On your next billing date, Figma will downgrade the team to a Starter team. We recommend you use this time to:

  • Downgrade or remove extra editors
  • Reorganize or remove extra projects
  • Download copies of your account invoices
  • Downgrade your account to a Starter team
  • Delete your team

  To cancel your plan:

  1. Go to Settings > Plan and billing from your team workspace.
  2. Select the Cancel plan option.
  3. Enter a reason for cancelling your subscription and click Continue cancellation.
  4. Click Finish cancellation to cancel the subscription. Figma will cancel the subscription and return you to the team page.

• Permissions in teams

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan

  Any team member can invite collaborators to a team. Members can invite others at a permission level equal to or less than their own permission level.

  Teams allow you to create and share resources and collaborate on files and projects within a shared workspace.

  Permissions control how collaborators can interact with your team. You'll need to set a collaborator's permissions when you first invite them to a resource, but you can make changes to a collaborator's access at any time.

  There are two different levels of access to a team:

  • Can view (viewer)
  • Can edit (editor)

  There are also two other roles you'll come across in a team:

  • Admin
  • Owner

  In this article, we'll explore these roles and permissions, and what actions each level can perform.

  Inherited versus explicit permissions

  Every team member will have a team-level permission, which controls their default access to any projects and files in the team workspace.

  For example: if you invite someone to your team with Can view permissions, they will only be able to view and comment on files in your team.

  Figma also lets you set different permissions at a project and file level. This means a collaborator can have different permissions on file or project than their team-level permissions.

  For example: a collaborator has Can view access to your team, but they have Can edit access to a specific file in your team.

  By default, a team member's permissions on team file and projects are inherited from their team-level permissions. If you invite a team member to a team file or project with different access to their team-level permissions, Figma will give them an explicit role on that resource. Explicit roles take precedence over inherited roles.

  For example: if you have a view-only project in a team, but give someone can edit access to a file in that project, they will be able to edit it.

  You can view a team member or collaborator's permissions on the Members tab. This includes their team-level permissions, as well as any explicit roles. Learn how to manage team members and permissions →

  Note: Figma will charge you for every person with Can edit access that interacts with your team. This includes collaborators that aren't members of your team, but do have edit access to a single file in your team.

  Viewers

  We use the term viewer to explain a collaborator that has can view ****access to a resource. Viewers can only perform limited actions within teams, files, and projects.

  Viewers can do any of the following:

  • View and interact with prototypes and presentations.
  • Add, reply to, or resolve comments on team files or prototypes.
  • Select objects within a design and view their properties in the Inspect panel. This includes values across CSS, Android, and iOS formats.
  • Measure distances between layers and objects.
  • Copy the contents of any text layers.
  • Save a local copy of the file (as a .fig file)
  • Copy frames, components, objects or layers within files or export frames and layers as assets (unless the option to copy and share the file has been disabled).
  • Use components from files they have can view access to. They will only be able to use those components in files they do have can edit access to, like their drafts.

  Viewers can't do the following:

  • Make changes to a file, including move, scale, edit or change individual layers and layer properties.
  • Create, change or publish styles and components to a shared team library.
  • Share files from their drafts with other members of their team.
  • Access the version history of a file

  Note: You don't need to have a Figma account to view any files that have been shared publicly via link sharing. If you're not logged in, you won't be able to interact with any layers, or make comments. You can only pan around the canvas or adjust the zoom level.

  Editors

  We use the term editor to explain a collaborator that has can edit access to a resource.

  Editors have the ability to view and modify resources within a team. They can perform some administrative actions in a team, but do not have access to billing or team-wide settings.

  Figma bases your plan and subscription on the number of people with edit access to resources on your team. Learn more about team plans in Figma →

  Editors can do the following:

  • Move, scale, edit or change any layers within a file. This includes changing the alignment, dimensions, and position of a layer, as well as any layer-specific properties.
  • Create, view and interact with prototypes.
  • Create, modify and publish changes to styles or components in a team library.
  • View the version history of a file. Anyone with edit access to the file can add new versions, duplicate versions or restore a previous versions of the file.
  • Share personal files from their drafts with other members of their team or organization.
  • Move, rename, delete, or restore any files and projects in the team.
  • Invite people to the team, files, or projects with either can view or can edit access.
  • Change another team member or collaborator's permissions on a file, project, or team.
  • Create invite-only and view-only projects in Professional teams.
  • Upgrade an existing Starter or Education Team to a paid Professional team. Figma will grant the person who upgrades the team admin access.

  Editors can't do the following:

  • Grant themselves or other members of the team admin access (unless they upgrade the team to a paid plan).
  • Transfer ownership of the team to another collaborator.
  • Use the Billing tab to view past invoice to the team.
  • Use the Settings tab to update any team-wide libraries or settings.

  Admins

  Admins are team members that have extra administrative right within the team. Admins must have edit access to the team, you cannot have an admin with only view access.

  Admins have access to both the Billing and Settings tab within the team workspace. This allows to view the team's invoice history as well as manage any team-wide settings.

  Note: An existing admin can grant any team member admin access, which will also give them edit access to the team. Figma will grant anyone who upgrades the team or adds their credit card details admin access to the team.

  Admins can do any of the following:

  Admins can do everything members with can edit access can do, as well as:

  • Invite other collaborators to the team with view or edit access.
  • Grant other team members admin access.
  • Update other member's permissions or remove members from the team.
  • Choose which shared libraries are available to team members by default.
  • Upload and manage shared fonts for that team [Figma Organizations only]
  • Become an owner of a file, project, or team if the current owner leaves the resource.
  • Use the Billing tab to view past invoices for the team.
  • Update the billing details for the team, including the payment method.
  • Upgrade or downgrade the team's plan and subscription.

  Note: Admins also have can edit access to team files and projects. This means Figma will include admins in your team's billing. It's not currently possible to add someone to a Professional team in a "buyer" or administration-only role.

  Owners

  Anyone who creates a team, project or file is the owner of that resource. There is only one owner for each resource. Resources include files, projects, or teams.

  Team owners can do any of the following:

  Owners can perform any action that an admin can. There are also some extra actions they can perform:

  • Transfer ownership of a resource to another collaborator on the team. They will need to have can view, can edit or admin access to the team. Owners will need to transfer ownership before they can leave the team.
  • Assume ownership of a member's files and projects when that member leaves the team.
  • Use the Delete forever action to permanently delete any file(s) they own. Anyone with edit access to a resource can delete it, but the owner can still access it in their Deleted files. Learn how to manage deleted files →

  Note: If you're on the Figma Organization plan, an organization admin can delete any teams in the organization without owners. Explore permissions in an organization →

• Manage team members and permissions

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on Starter, Education, and Professional teams.

  Members can only invite other members at a permission level equal to, or less than, their own permissions. This includes upgrading existing members.

  Control how collaborators interact with your team with permissions. There are two main access levels in a team:

  • Can view: Viewers can comment on any files and prototypes, but they can't make changes to layers, objects, or properties within team files.
  • Can edit: Editors can make changes to team files or prototypes, as well as their contents. Like viewers, they can also comment on files.

  In a team, you can also give specific collaborators admin permissions. Admins can perform extra administrative actions within the team, including managing team members and their permissions.

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan

  Any team member can invite collaborators to a team. Members can invite others at a permission level equal, or less than their own.

  Teams are shared workspaces where you can create resources, and collaborate on files and projects. Invite your co-workers and co-conspirators to your team to make the most of the collaborative design process in Figma.

  Control how collaborators interact with your team with permissions. There are two main permission levels in a team: can view (viewers) and can edit (editors). Learn more about permissions in a team →

  People can only invite other members at a permission level equal to, or less than, their own permissions.

  • Editors can invite others to the team as Viewers or Editors.
  • Viewers can only invite other Viewers to the team.

  Tip! You can also invite people to individual files or projects within your team. Figma includes any Editors on individual files or projects in your team's subscription.

  Billing considerations

  If you're adding new editors to your team, or files and projects in your team, your monthly billing will increase. This includes anyone you upgrade from a viewer, or that you grant Admin access.

  If you are replacing an existing editor, and the total number of editors won't change, there won't be any extra costs.

  Professional teams

  You can add more editors to your team, whether you are on a monthly or annual subscription.

  If you're on a monthly subscription, Figma will include new editors in your next month's subscription. Admins can view details of the team's next invoice on the Admin Dashboard.

  If you're on an annual subscription, Figma will charge you for those editors on a monthly basis. This means you will have an annual plan, and a monthly plan for your extra editors. We refer to this as "co-terming". You can include those extra editors in your annual subscription when you renew your annual subscription.

  Alternatively, you can reach out to the Figma support team (support@figma.com) and ask to add editors to your annual subscription. This is a manual process, which you would need to repeat each time you want to add extra editors to your subscription.

  For any editors you add to your annual subscription, Figma will charge you a pro-rated fee. This covers each editor you add for the rest of your annual billing period.

  Figma Organizations

  Figma bills all Organizations on an annual subscription. Organization members can invite new Editors or upgrade existing users at any time in the annual subscription.

  To account for any new Editors in the Organization, Figma performs a true-up every three months.

• Restore a deleted team

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on all teams and plans

  Only the owner or an admin of the deleted team can restore it.

  Figma will send you an email confirmation when you cancel a team. This email includes a link which you can use to restore the team and any files or projects within it.

  A week before the link is due to expire, Figma will send you another reminder.

  You can restore the team, which will reinstate the team and any files or projects within in. You'll be able to access the team in the file browser.

  Anyone who was a member of the team, or had a role on a specific file, will gain access to those resources again.

  Caution: The owner or admin of a team will have 28 days from deletion to restore the deleted team. Once the 28 days has passed, the team's files and projects will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.

  Tip! It's common for people to delete a duplicate team with the same or similar name as their existing team. You will only get reminders for deleted teams.

  If you can still see your team in the file browser, the reminder will be related to a duplicate team you previously cancelled.
