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, as a freelancer I have a lot of files in drafts because the ownership had to be transferred without adding new owners and future editors to my plan.

    What will happen to those files? Do I have to move them?

    I’m not the owner anymore…

    Hey Nellya, thank you for reaching out! I’ve covered this in my previous comment:

    Please let me know if this is clear or if you have any further questions.

    Hey @arkanoid!

    • You can keep editing the files in the “drafts to move” space for now with the existing editors, but if you want to invite new people to those drafts you need to move them to the appropriate team
    • If some of those files already have editors on them outside your plan, they won’t get added as paid seats unless you re-grant them edit access (everyone outside your team will just become viewers of the file)
    • We recommend moving the files that are yours to your own team. Some of this may depend on your working arrangement. For instance, if you’re doing work for them currently, and don’t want to transfer the ownership of those files until the end of the engagement, you might move them to your space for now. You can still transfer ownership of a file or project to a person on another team later if you want.

    Please let me know if this answers your question.

    Hi, thank you for respond. I’ve seen this answer, but i need to move bunch of files (not one by one) not from one Figma account to another, but from one team’s drafts to another team’s drafts inside the same account.

    But i guess it’s still impossible to do?

    ola, na minha pagina do Figma, no projeto não aparece a opção de inspecionar, o que devo fazer?

    Hello, my drafts files were disappeared when I clicked move to drafts. How I get them? In your blogs said that ‘’ You may not see this prompt immediately, as we’ll be rolling out this update over the next few days’'. It’s been 4 days.

    This is a bad idea because we have lots of drafts that have nothing to do with the teams created on Figma. If we follow your logic, we would have to create a personal team with ourselves as the only participant, in order to be able to record personal drafts.
    It does not mean anything.

    Yup Figma is no longer free, that is a pricey update. For daily users, sure, bought a subscription, but for those teammates who just need to open Figma once a month to edit stuff… That will cost now. Sad.

    Your drafts definitely shouldn’t have disappeared. Can you verify if you can see them in one of the teams that you’re in? If not it might be good to get you over to our support team so that they can take a closer look at your account.

    Thank you for your help, and I checked all my teams and can’t find anything about it.
