I’m using figma for development meaning I’m using figma design files shared from a designer which they give me Edit access, I find using View mode more effective for me while developing i.e easier time getting the images sources, it just more convenient for more to use View mode instead, However There is no easy way I am aware of, to switch from edit to view mode other than sharing the file with to a different user and give them only view access.
I selected this as a question, because I’m not exactly sure if there is an easier way.
What i want is to be able to change between (Edit/View) modes in figma design files.
Question
Switch between View and Edit modes
I would like this too. For me, the use case is little different though.
I am working as a designer and design systems contributor. Our design system is a live project, and changes are to be made very carefully. But sometimes I like to play around with components, which I do in branches. But since the branches and the main file look very a like, I sometimes forget if I am on the branch or the main file, especially if I am moving between them.
I would like to enable the view mode for the main file so it clear and adds additional friction for such live projects.
