Hello,

I don’t have the option Open Session i my Figma to invite guest to edit.

I’m currently attending a course in UX/UI desgin ang my classmate has the option in their Figma but I don’t have it in mine and we are using it in the same way as far as I’m aware.

I have a card sorting extercise I need to invite outsiders to perform whom don’t have or use Figma and even if all the settings is set to “anyone can edit” noone can, I’ve tried all possible solutions.

Mind you, I am a beginner in Figma so I have asked CGPT, Figma bot and my classmates for help but to no avail. Our teacher is currently under the weather and can’t assist.

 

Thank you for you help!

Hey ​@Sofia Matsson, thanks for reaching out! I can see that you’re on the starter plan and the Open Session is only supported on Professional, Education, Organization, and Enterprise plans. If your classmates are on an Education plan, they’ll have access, while it won’t show the option on the Starter plan.

Anyone with can edit access in a FigJam file can start an open session. You can find more information in our Help Center article: Invite visitors to an open session

 

Since you’re enrolled in a UX/UI course, you may be eligible for the Education plan, which should give you access to Open Sessions. Check out our Help Center article for more info: Figma for Education
Once you’re on the Education plan, the Open Session option should appear automatically in FigJam.

 

Hope this helps clarify what’s going on, let me know if you have any further questions!
