The concepts/pricing model that Figma uses to manage a simple workspace are so confusing: Projects, pages, files, teams, drafts… Lord have mercy.

Hi guys. Can you add a “select all” checkbox to the “deleted drafts” section? I have about 300 drafts deleted and you are forcing me to manually select each one so they can be deleted permanently? 🤔

Give us that magic checkbox, please. Thanks

Hi @Josh, so I understand this change doesn’t stop one having unlimited files in their Drafts room (even though Drafts room is now moved into a specific Starter team space)…however, when I try to import .fig files into my Drafts room, I get a blocking message asking me to upgrade saying I’m only allowed 3 files.

Issue doesn’t happen when I manually create a new .fig file.

Could I please get a response to my query above? @Josh

Could I please get a response to my query above? @Gleb

Could I please get a response to my query above? It’s pretty important, as I use it to personally store my work from professional engagements that I eventually need to update my portfolio with. Thanks! 🙂

57 Posts in this thread. And still i have no real understanding how my drafts can be managed in the future b me (only me), what limitations i have to face as a single user. Which lets me second some comments in this thread stating the increasing complexity on plan/team/file organisation in Figma.

  How many drafts i can use and edit as a single user (on the free plan) after being pressed to move them into a team folder (even if am not a team!)?

  Can i avoid moving my drafts into this unneeded teams folder?

  Will i still be able to freely export and import .fig-files to share them with others?

  
  

Teams is basically Figma’s label for a workspace, most collaborative platforms nowadays use workspaces to organize files, file access and memberships and they generally give you a Default free workspace when you sign up. It seems like Figma transitioned into this model with a more misleading title like Teams instead of Workspaces which is confusing for indie users.

Other apps tend to only differentiate different plans on the Workspace level, limiting how many users can join a team/workspace - on top of individual file/project plans - while Figma uses the Drafts section like a free-for-all or temporary workspace within a team and the Projects section as more plan-dependent, enabling more people to join the same team and work on related files at a lower capacity without having to work collaboratively via a paid plan. We can also sunset older files from a project into one of our Drafts in the shared workspace to work within the limits of the team’s plan until necessary to upgrade. Your own workspace is for your individual files/projects, with the project folders just being useful as folder organization or for component libraries.

You can move any file you have edit access on to a different team afaik via the file options > Move > All. They should def clarify more details around .fig files and what we can do as a free user on paid users’ files/projects and vice versa.

No limit. There are no changes except for the fact that they are gonna be located in a different place now.

No

Yes

Thanks, Gleb, for answering my questions. Very helpful and clarifying.

The instructions weren’t clear and I moved them to an incorrect team. How can you undo this and move them back? 😡

Select all files by holding Shift (first and last) or Ctrl (each by one) and move them again to the right location

My Figma just has the loading screen for hours when I try to move any drafts, i can’t access my design files file until it moves to the new drafts. This is so frustrating!!!
