It would be very helpful to be able to set all new files to be public/private by default instead of needing to go into every file and change that setting. Does anyone have any work arounds/automations/tips for doing this with a shortcut?

Hi @Tal3 , Thanks for writing in! I’ve been searching internally to see if there’s any workaround for this. However, I think it’s not currently possible to set the default setting for file sharing. Each file will need to be updated individually.

So, this seems like a feature request for me. I can see how what you’re asking can be useful for other users. I have shared this feedback with our internal team for future consideration, and moved this topic to share an idea for votes!

Thank you,

This is something we definitely need. It’s getting really tedious to have to remember to share each and every preview and Dev Mode link every time we release a design.
