Drafts are changing—here’s what you need to know

For users on a Starter or Professional team, we’re relocating where your drafts live. Starting this week, you’ll be asked to move your drafts into a team space.

If you’re on a Starter or Pro team, here’s what to expect:

  • Your drafts are now in a space called “Drafts to move.”
  • You can move your drafts at once into the appropriate teams—or create a free Starter team for all your drafts.
  • When you move your drafts to a team, they will still be private.
  • You will still be able to create and edit drafts free of charge.
  • You may not see this prompt immediately, as we’ll be rolling out this update over the next few days.

Check out the video, below, for a walk-through of this update.

You can read more about this change here on our blog and in our help center

    Hi, may I know what will happen to my drafts if I don’t want to move them out? Will they be deleted if they are not in any team’s draft?

    I have a Professional plan through my employer, but when I went to move my drafts:

    • Figma didn’t permit me to move the remaining drafts to my team (there is only the one)
    • I was asked to select a paid plan – which I should already be working within

    I haven’t lost access to any of my files (at least, it doesn’t look like it), so I’m not sure why I’m being asked to select a paid plan I already have.

    The blog post says this is to make things less confusing, but I am now very thoroughly confused.

    how do you move drafts between teams? I had to delete an unused team in order to create a new personal team to move the drafts into. however, after I deleted one team, all my drafts got moved into the remaining team, and now I cannot move drafts into the new team I created for myself. this is frustrating.

    Now I have a new question: why isn’t the new team I created showing up in my sidebar? And why, when I search for it, do I have a file saved to that new team open up, seemingly randomly?

    Will there still be an allowance for unlimited personal drafts — even if they’re associated with a team in this change?

    draft files in the beginner team draft room also have limitations such as only being able to create a maximum of 3 files in each project ?

    When opening a community file, I’m now only prompted to add to a team on my personal account. There is no option to add community files to my work Figma account.

    Are community files restricted to certain pricing tiers now, or is this change making drafts even more complicated?

    They would be automatically placed in a new free Starter team after some time.

    Hey @nate14 do you mind sharing more. You should see a dialog window with options to open community files in drafts spaces of any teams you’re a part of

    @Zach_Ryan @btiedu You can have unlimited drafts within a Starter team. The limit only applies to collaborative files.
