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.

When sharing files with external team members it would be great to have a feature that helps us control which pages are visible.

For example, this would be helpful on a page that is still a work in progress and not ready to be viewed while the rest of the file is ready to be shared.

Ok Figma team. When is this going to happen?

I will join the community on this one: I need to be able to navigate in one file but don’t want the pages that are just notes, new ideas etc. being visible to whole teams within my organization.

YES!!! Please add this feature! We work with large teams with many stakeholders that need to review content and even when we send a link to one particular screen or page, some of them start to lurk and ask questions about screens that aren’t ready. Yes we’ve communicated this to them to not do that but people still do. So it would be great if we can solve this problem at the product level instead of trying to change human behavior. Please!!

This is an awesome idea! For teams that have to share files with different crews would make a great difference in file management.

How does this idea have so many replies and hasn’t been integrated yet? This idea started almost 3 years ago! The community is screaming for it. Let’s go Figma! 🙌🏼

Hey Figma,

maybe you should talk to Kevin03 who presented a working website for this. Copy his website and implement it in Figma and you’re good to go.

Yes! That would be so helpful… Best

Whoa, one (awful) surprise after another - I’m just switching from Adobe XD to Figma and there are so many simple, decent features missing in Figma, this is one of them.

I’d like Figma to have the sharing links feature as simple and helpful as XD - you create prototypes, you generate links (for design review or for development inspect) and you get to share the pieces you want to share with whom you want to share.

Isn’t obvious enough how bad the sharing is now? I don’t want people seeing the entire project with the tons of pages…nor do they. ☹
