Is there any way in Figma where we can lock the design project for further updates. Currently the engineers starts consuming the Figma designs but there is a possibility that UX team updates the designs/colors etc which will impact engineering work.
Figma also do not have the change log to verify the past designs. So I am looking for a locking mechanism for save development.
Hey
A few paths forward:
Move the handoff file: You can move your final designs to a https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038006494-Create-a-new-project(available on paid plans)
Use branching: If you’re on an Organization or Enterprise plan, your designers can iterate in branches without touching the main file. Engineers can consume the main file, and updates only land when they are merged. No more surprizes
Tools for tracking changes:
Version history: We’ve built version history into every file. Just click the file name in the toolbar and select Show version history. We autosave checkpoints every 30 minutes, but your team can also save a named version ⌘ Option S (Ctrl+Alt+S) to mark milestones like "Ready for dev — Sprint 14."
Changes in Dev Mode: This is the "change log" you’re looking for! It’s scoped to the frame level, so you can see exactly what changed and when. You can learn more in this help article - Compare Changes in Dev Mode
Hope this helps get you moving forward! — Jaycee
