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.

Is there any update on when this feature will be added to Figma? Creating new files for every project for partner reviews creates a lot of clutter and adds confusion to file management system & sharing processes.

we need this urgently, you are letting our clients access absolutely everything, references, wip, work processes, discards… working like this is chaos!

This would be so helpful! Being able to hide pages & Areas; only sharing what you want a client to actually see.

Right now I’m creating a duplicate with only what I want to share, but it gets tricky when I have to keep updating two different files

This view is too unintuitive for the client to realize there’s a vanishing pager at the bottom to click through the artboards. Also, I have variatio

Hey there. No specific update to share at the moment. We are however, always looking at and working on ways to improve our sharing experience, whether thats through branching, updates to the share modal, or something else. Please keep the feedback coming! 🙂

Within my company we would also like to have this feature included. I’d like to have the stakeholders the access to the latest iteration but not see old versions in the same project. We’ve had multiple occasions where my teammates started giving feedback on the wrong page.
