Hey ​@Srinjoy Betal, great to hear you’re digging into the new features!
First Draft requires can edit access on the file, and it also needs to be used within the team that’s been upgraded to the Professional plan.


I’d recommend double-checking both of those. You can find more details (and a quick checklist) in this Help Center article:
https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/23955143044247-Use-First-Draft-with-Figma-AI

 

Can you double check that please and let me know if you’re still having issues to find it! Thank you!

Hi ​@Gayani_S, Thankyou for replying. 

I have my own professional account. So I do have the edit access on the files. I have the $20 plan. So I have the full seat. And I do have some other features in my account like generate photo, photo edits, replace content etc. As much as I know, those require the same edit access and professional plan. And also I saw some youtube videos about the ai design copilot where a bar is visible when a frame is selected and there the user can put prompt to make changes. I don't have that too.

Hey ​@Srinjoy Betal, apologies for the delayed response! Hmm this sounds odd. Can you please confirm if you’re not seeing it in the team “Srinjoy Betal's team”. Can you send me a screenshot of your action bar when you search for first draft? 

Also, are you not seeing this in the browser or the desktop app?

Hello ​@Gayani_S 

I am using the figma app. And yes I can access it now. Specifically from Saturday, 31st January. Earlier I did search for First Draft and there was no result. But now I can see it in the actions bar. Also the Add Interactions. Is the AI design copilot in Beta? I did see some youtube videos about it.

Hey ​@Srinjoy Betal, thanks for clarifying. It sounds like you’re talking about Add interactions on an element in Figma Sites.

Figma Sites is currently in open beta, and that includes interactions like marquee, scroll, and parallax. You can find more information in our Help Center article: 
https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/31242843431575-Add-interactions-to-an-element

You can always check what’s currently in beta here:

Hope this helps!

You couldn’t access First Draft initially because it requires using a Professional plan within a team and having edit access on the file. Now that it’s appearing in your action bar, it means your setup meets those requirements. The AI Design Copilot seen in videos is part of beta features like Figma Sites and isn’t fully released yet
