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.

So am I. It’s ridiculous. It’s completely natural to have some testing things you don’t want to share with everyone.

Figma has so many well executed features that Adobe XD never got, but that one at the very least had an option to share only specific things. With how much Figma can do, it’s baffling to still see certain sections that are seemingly in it’s infancy.

Ah I came here while looking for the feature to make a page accessible. Looks like it is still a “need to have” feature and not yet developed. Oh well. +1 from me.

How is this still not a feature? Just had a client looking through sandbox pages of early designs instead of the “Leave feedback here page” - Please add this in 2024!

Yes. Pause AI features until it’s ready for prime time and focus on single page sharing option actually requested by users!

I would like to have the function to only show certain pages in my document to clients. With the way we work, clients and external dev teams usually do get access to the files, but I don’t always want to give them access to all pages, I’d like more control in that aspect.

Another +1 from a users that would love this feature!

It would be nice to lock down certain pages within a FigJam to certain access.

WOW! This topic has been needed for such a long time now. Just been speed reading through the thread so far. Surely this is a feature we’d get soon??

I’ve ended up finding this page whist searching online incase there was a solution. Currently wishing there was a way to hide specific pages whilst sharing others.
