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.

I have to copy the page to a separate project just so I can share which is a bit crazy but seems the only way at present! This is a really big issue that is keeping us from leaving Zeplin. 😣

The use case is when I share the design with people not in the team/project or with view-only permission; I wish to control their access for only some specific pages, not allow them to view all pages in a file.
Additionally, I don’t want them to see all comments for all pages, they should only see the filtered comments on those pages which they can access.

Some features:

  • Organize (filter out) comments for pages
  • Advanced share settings for pages

Thanks.

I wholeheartedly agree with the suggestion. Every time there is a need to share a specific flow with a stakeholder I need to create a whole new file. This results in problems with project organization since so many files have to be generated. This fix would greatly improve the experience!

I would also like the locked pages or limited access to ensure that some stuff doesn’t get moved around

I don’t want the client to see the whole project including WIPs.

When sharing a design file can I get the ability to customise access for clients? For example; Client 1 can view only access page 1. Designers can see all pages.

Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

Hello there,

It’d be just amazing if Figma had the ability to hide specific pages from document viewers.
Say I have a few pages that aren’t important for viewers so I need to make them invisible.

@Gleb what do you think?

Best!

Would love to have this feature! At first I had to keep adding/removing my client from the file - annoying for both parties as you can imagine. Now I copy pages I want to share into a new file, still annoying so would really appreciate this thank you!

Please @anon21722796 take a look at this one! It’s a real pain everyday when sharing the file for clients to give feedback on. We don’t want them to see our inspiration/references page for example!

Would love to see this feature. When working with large project files and big teams it would be really helpful to be able to keep WIP work at the same access level as that which has been signed off.
