Question

Can't find an old project

I’m trying to open a link but get a message “Unable to open file” - Looks like there’s an issue with this design file’s sharing settings. Can it be that it’s accidentally has been deleted or moved somewhere? How do I go back in history to find this Figma board?

    Hey ​@Petra Qvist - thanks for joining us on the forum, and happy to narrow down what may have happened.

    A few questions to start:

    Did you own the file you can’t access anymore? Or is it owned by another team member, who shared edit access to it with you?

    Are you able to share a link to the file (no worries if you can’t; I know that there are sometimes restrictions for this)?

    Let me know - thanks!
