Dear Figma Team,
We’d like to report a serious misunderstanding that occurred due to the current UI design of the file search and metadata display.
When searching for design files, we noticed that the user profile and the last edited timestamp are shown together. However, the user profile displayed is that of the file creator, not the person who last edited the file.
This led us to mistakenly believe that a former employee—whose profile was shown—was somehow still accessing and editing our files through unknown means. We were very close to taking legal action before we discovered that the profile displayed belonged to the file's original creator, not the last editor.
This UI behavior is highly misleading and can lead to serious misunderstandings and even legal consequences. We kindly suggest revising the interface so that it clearly distinguishes between the file creator and the last editor, or at least displays the most relevant profile depending on the context.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
kyunghyun.
