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.

Figma presents, such an incredible new way of working, but the one and just about only problem i’m having too… is sharing isolated frames or isolated flows with clients / team.

Essentially creating a mini-flow, or single frame within a page within a project and sharing it directly without the ability for the viewer to see anything else.

This would be super beneficial to resolve @anon21722796

Totally agree George - this is the one reason why we are still painstakingly exporting 50+ screens to InVision to share with clients/wider teams and receive feedback.

@anon21722796 Even the ability to share selected screens within the prototype viewer, with the ability to leave basic feedback through Figma’s commenting system would be a massive value add and time saver.

This is super helpful since there is stuff I’d like to share with stakeholders but there is stuff I’d like not to. Please make this happens.

My workflow is exactly the same like Lishay, this would help a lot.

Yes, this is a big problem when sharing parts of a big project. @anon21722796 any suggestion in the meanwhile?

+1 to this. I was just looking up how to do this only to realize this is not a feature.

Any updates on this very important matter? @anon21722796
You would have some very happy customers if you focused on this one…

I always have problems with that, like I have one that i called handoff devs but people just make comments on non relevant pages…
Hid pages for users would be amazing

Agree with everything already stated by others. We’d like to consolidate our tools and use Figma for client presentations and reviews… however the challenges everyone has already listed, requires us to keep using Invision for these purposes.

Same opinion as the others. Would love to have one page shared with the final client/stakeholder where they can see and comment on the project while having other pages hidden from them while we work on the project internally.

@anon21722796 Googled this and was surprised it’s either all or nothing, can this be included soon? It’s pretty important that client’s don’t see how all the sausage is made in a shared document; show just what we want them to see.
