I got an invite to a Figma file as an editor.

Clicked on the link in the email > and I’m still stuck in viewer mode. On their end it shows me as editor. On my end it shows “Requested”.

I’ve tried both desktop and web access - both show the same.

What am I missing?

Hi ​@Ruthy_Lichtenstein1, thanks for reaching out!


This definitely seems odd. Are you still having issues editing this file? If so, are you able to share a URL link to this file?

With the URL link, we can take a look on the backend at the sharing and permissions for this specific file to see what may be causing this issue.
