Wait...will I be charged for adding myself? It told me that I’d have 3 days to access Figma (when I was already logged in as myself) until “Admin” (a.k.a me) approves of basically myself? Help, please. 

Hi ​@Neke, thanks for reaching out! 

I took a look at the account associated with your forum email, and it looks like you originally signed up for a Collab seat today. As a reminder, with a Collab seat you have:

  • Full access to Figma Slides and FigJam.
  • View and comment access in Figma Design files.
  • No access to Dev Mode; basic inspection only.

 You then “added” yourself as an editor for a Figma file, upgrading yourself to a Full seat. With a Full seat, you have: 

  • Full access to all Figma products, including Figma Design, Dev Mode, Figma Draw,  Figma Slides, and FigJam.

To clarify, you were 1st charged $5.00 for your Collab seat. But to be an editor on Figma Design, you upgraded yourself to a Full seat for $20.00. And so, we lastly refunded you the original $5.00 for the previous Collab seat. Hope this helps explain! 

More information about how seats work is available here.


Ah!! I understand now! Thank you for explaining and getting back to me. I appreicate the clarification!


You’re welcome, ​@Neke! Happy to help! 😁
