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.

It would be nice to know if this is being looked into, even if it’s just a feature that can be used as a workaround (lets say, hide pages from view-only accounts), this has been an ongoing conversation for so long for it to be left untouched or unnoticed.

Need this basic feature? What could you be planning by not adding this feature?

Much needed!

So so so so needed! come on Figma this can’t be a difficult thing to achieve. Even better would be to share only a section

Same as everyone here !

This feature is greatly needed to be able to work with people - developers or clients - who are not used to navigate in a complexe Figma file with tens or hundreds of frames.

We tried to integrate Figma with Jira, but every time it’s the same question from the developers : “I can see 50 different screens in the file, which one should I look ?”
As of today, our only solution is to export the frames on another app - Zeplin - and to integrate this export in Jira. Such a waste of time and energy.

Please, please, please, prioritize this simple-looking feature in your roadmap. You will receive a wave of love from designers all over the globe if you do so 😊

My number one issue with Figma. Not being able to hide pages. Dev mode does not solve this. Devs keep looking into designs that are not ready.This happens on every project. Two issues with that;

  1. Devs are spending time on designs that are not ready. Resulting in lots of irrelevant questions. Confusion. Time inefficiency.
  2. Very annoying to have dev hover around on design that are still under construction.

My current work around after presentation, I copy the pages to a new (unknown) document. Later transfer back.

As a designer I want to have a private space in a Figma doc even after having shared a first version with the team.

At the ConveyUX 2024 convention in Seattle last week, Jacob Miller said that they sometimes get ideas for features from social channels (i.e. redit, twitter(X), etc…). Please grab a link to this page and spread the word!!!

Please add this feature so we can stop using Zeplin
