When we share links to prototypes in Figma Design, we can customize the sharing to be visible to people outside of our company (great for usability testing).
Permissions for slide presentations have to be set at the slide file level, which is annoying when you have the presentation open and you want to just adjust the sharing permissions from right inside the dialog.
Thanks for the feedback, Jason!
We’ll pass this onto the team for consideration.
Goal: I want to share a Figma Slides presentation link with my client, allowing them to comment but preventing access to the file itself, including the ability to view speaker notes or other hidden features.
Issue: When setting permissions to ‘View’ for Anyone or Invited, clients can open the file and access the toolbar, which includes speaker notes and other options. Is there a way to restrict their access to commenting only without exposing these additional elements?
Does anyone know if this is solved yet? We want to switch to Figma Slides, but it seems that when you share an Audience link (for viewing and commenting only) the client still has the option to “Open in Figma Slides”!! We can’t wait to switch to Figma Slides, but this is a dealbreaker :(
same here.
we would like to share the presentation with the customer to add comments, but only to the slides witch are unskipped etc.
Same with us - would love to use Figma Slides but the inability to turn off commenting / opening the slides doc is a deal-breaker. Disappointing that this wasn’t one of the first things to change earlier in the release.
Having this same issue. No solve yet?
Hi All, thank you for your patience and honest feedback!
Quick update from the team: this is confirmed as expected behavior, not a bug. In Figma Slides, view access currently means access to the full file, so there's no way yet to limit viewers to presentation-only (no speaker notes, no hidden slides, etc.).
Rest-assured that this is logged as a known feature request by the team. While I don’t have an exact timeline to share, I'll update this thread if priorities change in the future.
Understood it’s not a bug, but just supporting the request for this functionality that others have stated. Also the ability in this functionality for a client to download the presentation slides as a PDF on their end would be greatly helpful.
