Difference in the link format

Hey @Yuliia_Voynova, thank you for reaching out!

I am not able to open both of the file links. Could you please invite support-share@figma.com with “can edit” permission so I can look into this further? Note that users with @figma.com emails on your team do not count towards your billing.

Thanks in advance!

I’m quite curious about this too. I have been pasting links to screens in our Figma designs into our requirements documents in Confluence. the links with /file can be displayed in Confluence as embedded (showing the design in the doc), while the ones with /design will only display as a link. The odd part is that I am getting the links by right-clicking on the frame and selecting Copy as > Copy Link to selection. While I was initially getting links formatted as /file, now I am getting links formatted as /design, and I don’t understand why that has changed.

It seems that Figma addon in storybook has the same issue? linked file with ../design don’t show up, and the same with ../file and ../proto work. Anything to know about this? I would love to keep doing cmd+L to get links and not have to manually change the URL.

Hey @Yuliia_Voynova I’ve got an update. I’ve flagged this internally to the teams and got the response that you should both be seeing /design now, and you can expect that behavior to be consistent going forward.

Let me know if you’re seeing that on your end, happy to investigate further.

For everyone else, let me ask internally why this has been changed. I will give you an update soon on this. Appreciate your patience in the meantime!

I’d also suggest reaching out to Atlassian Customer Support to help troubleshoot if you’re running into further issues.

It looks like for the /design links, Figma is setting X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN in the header, which means embedding will no longer work outside of the Figma domain.

I recently opened an angular design which was being worked on by another team. The story book links iwth in the angular project, some but not all of which work have the /file/ format. It was working with one that did not work that I notice the format difference. What I can see now is that if I copy the new links from Figma, firstly, it’s going to take forever to replace them all, and b) they don’t actually work. I get a big couldn’t open error in Storybook with those links.

Any clarification on this would be welcome.

tahnks.

Hey @Al14, thank you for reaching out!
I know this is not the response you’re expecting but please do reach out to Atlassian Customer Support. They can help troubleshoot, our team had already reported this issue to Atlassian. But Atlassian was not able to replicate the issue on their end.
