Switch to read-only mode

I get nervous having edit-access to a Figma file sometimes, especially as an engineer. I don’t want to accidentally make a change to something in the file.

It would be great if there was a way to switch myself to a read-only mode (temporarily) to avoid accidentally breaking/changing something.

For now, I’ve just been creating a new branch. If I change something on the branch, then I don’t need to worry.

+1 - it’s also valuable for designers to understand how stakeholders (without edit or dev seats) will see their designs.

Yes we need it.
How do I had over the design to my dev team if I have Zero clue of how they see things? I can’t guide them through if we both have completely different views

Read-only mode would indeed be figmastic. (Urgh…)
