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.

Yes, yes, yes!

We need this feature. I know that Figma it’s amazing for inside product design, but for outsourcing, we need this extra feature.

As a new user of Figma, coming from a combination of Sketch + Overflow, the ability to have unique pages just being shared out of all the pages on Figma file is a must.

A lot of times you just want to have someone, that is not proficient into a design tool, to just see and evaluate something in a simpler away without the clutter of other pages or Interface elements.

It would be the same ability that Overflow allows to generate a simplified, “clickable” and “navigational” wire flows for example. This would be a great addition to the platform.

I need this. A lot of clients want access to Figma, maintaining two files is more work and can be messy, and giving them access to the file where I do all my work feels really invasive.

My current workaround this is to keep your work in a separate page in the file, select all and hide everything you want to keep private. I also name the page with a comma or dot so it looks like a blank page. Obviously this isn’t the best solution because when you do want to work on it, people will be able to see what you’re doing if they’re in the file at the same time, but it still sort of works

Nice but it’s hack, we want (need) a built-in solution here 😋
