[LAUNCHED] Figma Slides custom templates should be available on all paid plans

I would like to second this. I just tried out the beta and immediately ran into this issue. On all other presentation software, you can edit the template.

Even if you can’t publish the template, just editing the template is a basic feature that is needed. Having to update each slide manually each time is not an option.

Yeah this makes it basically useless to anybody who regularly does presentations. It is a feature that is there by default on any other free slide maker.

I agree, it’s a basic feature.

I already love Figma Slides, but without this feature, it’s unusable for an agency wanting to create decks for clients. Not only large enterprises need to create custom templates for clients, small businesses also require this functionality.

The cost gap to upgrade to the Organization plan just to get this feature is not justified for smaller companies.

Agreed with the comments above. Just spent the last 30 mins trying to edit a template and realized that because we are on the pro model, we can’t. This is a core feature that will stop us from using this. Too bad as otherwise it looks great.

Same here… I have a personal and work Figma account, but even as an individual who wants to build a portfolio deck, I need to be able to edit the template… Not a feature that should be gated on organization. Very frustrated to just have wasted a bunch of time to figure this out.

Hey All, thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass this onto our Slides team for future consideration.

That’s disappointing, agreed it’s fundamental to any presentation software not just big orgs. It’s essentially the equivalent of a Component Library in Figma Design. You wouldn’t restrict that to just Organisation+

Makes no sense that you cannot do this with a Pro account. Messy that you cannot create templates with styling that you have saved with your Pro account in Figma. For me, working as the only designer at a smaller agency, it is unreasonable to go from $15 to $45 a month to be able to publish presentation templates.

Yeah, this makes no sense. Creating and Editing templates should be standard on all plans, even free plans.

+1 - this should be available on any paid plan at least. Every slide tool allows this and conceptually it’s no different than creating a library, style or component that can be leveraged by the entire team. Feels like somewhat manipulative to enforce org upgrade for a single table-stakes feature.
