Hello, I have been invited to a connected project (it is listed as active in the administration) but I cannot find how to access it. How am I supposed to access this project?

Hi ​@Guillaume_LEDUC, thanks for reaching out! 

You can access a connected project in Figma in two ways:

  • Via the File Browser: Log in to figma.com, click the Figma menu > Back to files if inside a file. In the left sidebar, select the relevant team (or "All projects" on Starter/Pro plans) to find the project.
  • Via an Invitation: If invited by a collaborator, accept the invitation from the email notification, which will take you directly to the file or project.

Hope this helps! More information is also available in our Help Center article here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/30124855491863-Guide-to-connected-projects#h_01JMJDKJFE69YTT03HXCHMB76V

Hi, Thank you for your replies,

  • In the file browser: All teams > Connected project section is empty, there is just this information "Using 1 of 6 available connected projects"
  • When I click on the received link "open connected projects" I am redirected to my recent projects
  • Nothing in the help center that can help me, no answer regarding the location of the connected project in the interface, no screenshot that could help me, no indication of its location in a menu"

Hi @Guillaume_LEDUC, thanks for following up!
 

Just to confirm, were you invited to a connected project? If so, and you still can’t see it, it’s possible you haven’t been added yet, or the connection hasn’t been approved. Do you know if your team is the host or the external team, and are you looking for a specific project?
 

Connected projects live in the host team. If your team is external, you’ll need to switch to the host team in the file browser to access the project. You can also see the connection listed in your Admin settings. Let me know your setup (host vs. external), and I’ll help troubleshoot further.
