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.

+1 for this feature

We work with multiple teams, external contractors and clients and use Figma as a central point for a project, giving access to individual pages would be so helpful

+1. The current workaround of duplicating files is even worse when we’re talking about big files. It would improve many people’s workflows if we could share only certain pages and even lock them with a password if needed.

Figma offers a really frustrating workflow when it comes to sharing the design for review with clients. Sharing with clients is extremely important because we are all running a business and the only reason we design, prototype and develop products is for them. I was using XD and sharing work was a joy for everyone, including my developer. XD was allowing multiple flows in the same documents to be shared independently and you could chose between Design Review mode for comments, Development, Presentation, User testing and even chose custom parameters. Once uploaded online you simply had to copy the generated url, paste the link in an email to the client and wait for comments. I am such disappointed to have listen to so many people who were trying to convince me that Figma is better in all aspects, but this prouves not be true. Before saying XD was crap they should have at least try it to understand it was better to deal with the ones who make us earn a living, “the clients”.

This is a problem. First off, I don’t want prying eyes in my design. Ever. But as soon as I send a link, visitors seem to have access to everything. I would like to be able to select just one page - like a “For Review” page - so I can show off what is ready for review only.

Also, I really struggle with the fact that people are watching me work. That they can see what I’m doing live as soon as I’ve shared something. I mean, it’s great when I work together with other designers, but it freaks me out when I’m just designing and suddenly I see the client popping in, watching me.

Restricting sharing to selected pages would be so great.
