I have a student subscription plan. Everything was working fine for 2 days, but now I can't access the developer mode in team projects, even though it was working perfectly for the first 2 days

    Hi ​@Jast Nikc,

     

    I understand that you’re having trouble toggling to Dev Mode in your design file.

     

    To clarify, Figma plans are tied to teams, not individual users.

     

    It looks like you have access to both Student and Starter teams. If the file is located in your Starter team, Dev Mode won’t be available there.

    If you see the “Upgrade to work in Dev Mode” modal when toggling to Dev Mode, that likely indicates the file is in a Starter team.

     

    Please double-check the file’s location. You can do this by opening the file and clicking the file location name under your file name in the left sidebar.

    If you’d like to move the file from a Starter team to your Student team, please refer to this guide:  Move a file

    If the file is already in your Student team and you have edit access on the file with Full or Dev seat but you still can’t access Dev Mode,  please share the file URL here so we can assist escalate it to our Support team if needed.

     

    Thanks,
