Question

Published team skills are only visible to the creator

Hi,

We’re experiencing an issue with custom skills in our Figma workspace.

I have created several custom skills and published them to our team/workspace. The publishing process appears to complete successfully, and the skills are visible and usable from my account.

However, other users in the same team/workspace cannot see the published skills at all. They do not appear in their Manage skills / Your team section and therefore cannot use them.

We have tested this with multiple users and the result is the same: only the user who created and published the skills can see them.
 

Expected behavior:
Once a skill is published to the team/workspace, other members of that team should be able to discover and use it.
 

Actual behavior:
The published skill is only visible to its creator. Other team members cannot find it.
 

Is this a known issue, or is there an additional organization/team setting required to make published skills available to other members?

👋🏻 Hi ​@edusaenz_omc, welcome to Figma Forum and thanks for flagging this.

To help narrow down why the skills aren’t appearing for your teammates, here are a couple of things to check:

  1. Publishing destination. Confirm which team or organization was selected when publishing. The available destinations depend on the file you’re publishing from, and your teammates need to be members of the team the skill was published to.
  2. Member access. Could a team or organization admin confirm whether the affected teammates are members or guests? Organization guests can’t use skills, even with a Full seat and edit access. More on this here: Members, guests, and limited access.

 

This guide also covers publishing and managing skills: Create and manage custom skills in Figma.

If the skills are still missing after those checks, let me know what you find. I’ll be glad to open a ticket so we can take a closer look at your account settings.
