Sharing permissions on professional plan

I’ve just upgraded my plan to professional, and while I’m trying to share a design with an external designer, I keep getting an error message saying: “Editors cannot be invited to starter team draft files”. What am I missing? Why can’t I provide an editing permission to a designer, as I’m the file owner?

hi @Ohad_Sheffer - sorry for any confusion, but it sounds like there may be some confusion on your professional plan, and the team your draft lives in.

To start, Figma plans are on the team level, and not the account level. When you purchase a professional subscription, you are upgrading a single team, and not your account overall.

Based on your message, you’re trying to invite a new editor to a file that doesn’t live in the drafts folder of the team you upgraded. It sounds like it’s housed in another team you own, which is a free team.

After doing a little bit of digging, I’m going to follow up with you via PM. I’ve found some info that I think will help you specifically. I’ll get that to you soon.
