Drafts
Access both your Drafts and any Deleted files from the Drafts workspace. Use the tabs at the top of the page to switch between them.
Drafts
Every Figma account comes with its own drafts. You can think of your Drafts like a sketchbook or notebook. It's a place where you can jot down your ideas and experiment with different concepts.
Drafts are separate from any teams or projects. Any files you create here are your own. There are no limits in the drafts folder, so create as many files as you like!
The Deleted files folder is an archive of any files you have access to that have been deleted. This includes files that you deleted yourself and files others deleted.
You can use the Created by to filter your results. Choose to view files created by: Anyone, You, or Others.
Figma will keep files in the deleted files folder indefinitely. It's not possible to open a deleted file, but depending on your access to the original file, there are some actions you can take.
Find any files or projects collaborators have shared with you in your Shared files or Shared projects. This includes:
Drafts that another collaborator has invited you to.
External projects that another collaborator has shared with you.
Tip! Use the sort filter in the top-right corner to change the order that files appear.
