    Hey ​@yangsheng,

     

    So, I see that the Draw tools isn't showing up in your toolbar.

    Just to confirm, the Figma Draw is available on the Education plan. So, if you have edit access to the file, you should be able to use it.

    Let's try a couple of quick things to see if we can get the Draw tools to appear:

    • Close any Figma tabs you aren't currently using.
      • Browser: Completely close your browser and then open Figma in a new window.
      • Desktop App: Completely close the Figma Desktop app and then restart it.

    After trying that, if you still don't see the Draw tool, could you let us know if this is happening only in the Figma Desktop app, in the browser, or both?

     

    Thanks!

    It’s so weird that I tried different browsers(edge, chrome and even private browsing) and desktop app, the toolbar is still the old one. ​@Junko3

    Yes, I have tried million times, but it didn’t work. I created a new account using my gmail, and the toolbar has the “draw” function. 😔 I guess the problem is about my account.

    I have the same problem.
    But on some files I see it, and on others I don't.

    Hi there,

    Figma Draw requires a "Full" seat on the team, and also edit access to the file. Could you please double-check your seat type on the team where the file lives, and also the access settings for that file?

    Here are the related articles on how to check those:


    Thanks!

    I moved my file from drafts to a team+project, and then I saw the Figma Draw again. 🙂
    ​@Junko3 thank you for pointing that out!

    Hello, I’ve got the same problem. I can’t see the new toolbar of Figma Draw. I thought that was on a pro plan, so I paid for it, but still nothing… 

    Could you help me please ?

    Hey Nico,
    Sorry to hear you are having issue to get access with Figma Draw. I am working closely with Junko, happy to help!
    That does seem a bit odd. As Junko mentioned, let’s cover a few basics to make sure everything’s set up correctly.

    To access Figma Draw, please double-check that:

    • You’re connected on a Professional plan with a Full seat

    • You have "Can edit" access to the design file

    • You see the Draw icon in the Figma Design toolbar (as shown below).
      More information in our guide for Figma Draw here.


     

    If everything looks good on your end, here are a few quick steps that can sometimes help resolve access issues:

    • Log out and back in to Figma

    • Make sure your app or browser is up to date (the updates can include important fixes)

    • If you're using the desktop app, try reinstalling it. You can follow the instructions in our Help Center.

    Please let me know how it goes, if you are still having trouble I’d recommend to reach out directly to our support team for further investigation here: Submit a bug report Thanks!
