Hi, can anyone tell me what do I need to access Design/Dev Mode/whatever on a Figma link in order to export images from a Figma prototype?
I used to have an option to go to Design Mode or Dev Mode or Ask to Edit, but not anymore, something changed and I have no idea what and how.
This is all very confusing and not having an option inside the preview is just bad UX .

Might be a permissions thing, not sure if you're the owner of the file.
Anyway, you can try this to check:

Access it and check if you have permissions to view it.
So, are you not viewing this option while in a prototype?
Correct, I used to have that option, not anymore

Thank you giliard! Your solution took me to a request access page.
It seems the owner didn’t actually grant me the access or there’s some other issue on his side, hope this works.
Bless you for your time & knowledge!
