Me and my friend wants to collaborate on a project using Figma. We both have verified edu plans, but when I invite him I get the message saying “An admin needs to update this seat so they can edit.” Naturally, I went ahead and made him into the team’s admin, which did not solve our problem at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi ​@Jack51003, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delayed reply! 

Are you still having issues collaborating? I understand how this must be slowing down your workflow.

Normally, you should be able to collaborate by inviting each other to the specific file or project, and/or by sharing the file link with one another with edit permissions.
