Give unique access to specific pages

Hello 👋

First, I’m happy about the opportunity where I can make an impact on this amazing product.

My idea is pretty simple but can make a huge difference in the way we share files with stakeholders and colleagues. I suggest adding the ability to give different access (viewer/editor) for pages within a Figma file.

Because in most cases, we’re trying to include a whole project, feature, or function, whether small or big, in one Figma file - it becomes a real pain-point if the lowest level of grant permissions it’s the file itself instead of the pages within the file.

I’m sure a lot in this community can agree with me that many times you gave people access - it was relevant to certain areas of the file, and less to other areas.

  • I want to give content writers access to a specific page where they can edit and review content.
  • I want to give developers access to a specific page where they can play with responsive layers and explore edge-cases.
  • I want to leave experiments (Some would call it a playground, sandbox 😃) and previous versions to myself, to avoid background noises from the rest

The current situation is that I give everyone viewers access, each one of them looking for his relevant place among the information load and I avoid giving an editor access to prevent touching what they should not touch by mistake 🙄

What do you think about it?
Of course, feel free to vote if you agree with the idea.

I saw the new dev mode, but not sure how this solves the issue. Can you please explain?

So it doesn’t give unique access to pages but by adding sections to dev mode, you can make it easy for your developers to find what is ready for handoff by marking it ready for dev.
I guess in the future they can add the option to hide everything that is not marked as ready for dev as an additional feature

There’s this topic as well and has 400+ votes on it. Maybe merge those two as both threads essentially ask for the same thing?

I need this now! I literally just had to explain to the PO not to comment on old pages on the left of my design because the a11y annotations may bet updated there instead of a later page (where the devs will see the change). LAME. Please give us page by page permissions.

Been following this thread for a while now, we just release a tool that allows you to create shareable links for Figma design and hide specific pages, check it out here:

Share individual Figma pages with Magicul Monocle - Magicul Blog.

I would love to hear your feedback and what features we should add.

Great initiative and It works super well, the only thing missing for me is access to Figma Toolbars (layers / inspector etc.)
