Figma is currently of the world’s most popular design software, and even though their interface is really useful, we may get confused. I know a lot of people are wondering: Are Figma drafts & files private? Answer: Yes<\/strong>, unless you have shared them at some level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me explain further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Figma drafts & files work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All Figma drafts and files are private unless you have ever decided to share that draft or file with someone else. You can share drafts and files at the file level or at the project level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the answer Figma gave on Twitter in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make sure your Figma Draft or File is private<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to check and make sure that the draft is private, go to the file in question, and click on the \u201dShare\u201d button. Here you can see your settings and who has access to the file (see screenshot below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, you can change the \u201dAnyone with the link\u201d to \u201dOnly people invited to this file\u201d can access it. And as you can see in my screenshot below, in this file, only I have access to the file. This means only I can see the draft & file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other privacy tips on Figma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obs!<\/strong> Chances are though, that if you are sharing an account with your company, then you are not the only one with access to the account or files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you want to work on a draft or file that you want to be private, it\u2019s safer to create a new account that only you have access to. Create your files and drafts there and don\u2019t share anything with anyone. That way, you\u2019re much more likely to ensure the privacy of your files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this could help answer your question of whether your Figma drafts and files are private or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
