Make Version History links work again

In 2019, Figma released a feature that allowed users to copy the link of a history version of a design file and share it with others. However, it seems like the link is not working now? I’m only able to link to the page, but not the exact version of the file…Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I’m running into this issue too, creating friction with managing feedback.

Same issue faced today. It’s not fixed yet. If i open links in the browser it works but not in the design file.

Still an issue. The copied link works in a browser, but when you paste it into a figma file and open it, it just takes you to the current version. For some reason, pasting the link into the figma file dumps a section of the link pertaining to the version and just pastes a basic link to that file.

I’ve tried it today. It still doesn’t work inside the Figma app (macOS). If you click the link inside the Figma app it opens the same version. It goes to a browser and then gets back to the same version of the same file.

If you’re using the browser version, it works. It opens another window with the correct version of the link.

I still think that it should work on the desktop app.

Flagging that this feature still seems to be broken when working in the Figma desktop Mac app.

Love the idea of linking to an archive within a cleaned up version of my same file, but because clicking the link seemingly does nothing (not even an error message notification), it’s not very intuitive. I just happen to copy and paste the link into a browser and then it works? I don’t think my team members would understand to do that.

Please fix this!
