Hi There, I am unsure of what the verification required is, it’s from the Education team. I am not a student or Educator but a founder of a company. what are the next steps please as it said I cannot edit my Figma app file after July 13th ?Thank you.

Hey @Taylor_Brown, thank you for reaching out! Did I get it right, you’re trying to help your education team (consists of students or education) to get verified for the education plan?

Are you currently on the education plan? If so I’d recomment reaching out to education@figma.com.
