Hi Figma team and community,

I'm having a serious issue with one of my files and I hope someone can help me.

Issue details:

  • I am the owner of the file.
  • The file is showing as "Unassigned file" in yellow text.
  • I cannot edit, duplicate, copy, or move the file to another team or project.
  • I have double-checked that I’m logged into the correct account (the owner account).
  • I have tried opening it in both Figma app and browser, but still no luck.
  • Other people only have "can view" access, but even I (the owner) can't do anything.

    Here is the link to my file (view-only):

    https://www.figma.com/design/ZxccLU7X9JpTYC3bG7N5KK/Mia-Portfolio?node-id=295-226&t=QOAhoCF3nzSZF19H-1

    Possible causes I suspect:

  • The file might be detached from its team or stuck in some limbo state.
  • Some workspace downgrade issue (but I am not sure).
  • What I’ve already tried:

  • Logging out and back in.
  • Trying from different devices and browsers.
  • Attempting to share with another email (but since it’s unassigned, I can’t grant edit access).
  • Checking if I can duplicate — no option available.
  • 💥 This is an important file and I would love to regain access to it.
    Please let me know if there’s any way to fix or recover this file.

    Thank you so much in advance!

    Best,
    Phuong
