How to share draft files with others?

[Ricky_Hamilton_II]

One of our users is having an issue with sharing draft files with others. here’s what she said:

I’ve gotten used to creating org charts in Figma, but keep running into issues with sharing >files. We can have our files in our Drafts, but can’t share them with others until we move
the file into a folder. Once the file is in a folder, we can’t edit it.
Our org charts need to have ongoing edits, and being able to share them while in edit >mode would make things easier.

Do you have any insight into Figma limitations and features for this, and how we can share >files in ‘edit’ mode?

Is there any way to share draft files with others w/out putting them into a folder that prevents them from being edited?

Thanks,

Ricky

Hey @Ricky_Hamilton_II, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the confusion!

We made an update to how drafts work in June:

Drafts are changing—here’s what you need to know

For users on a Starter or Professional team, we’re relocating where your drafts live. Starting this week, you’ll be asked to move your drafts into a team space. If you’re on a Starter or Pro team, here’s what to expect: Your drafts are now in a space called “Drafts to move.” You can move your drafts at once into the appropriate teams—or create a free Starter team for all your drafts. When you move your drafts to a team, they will still be private. You will still be able to create and edit dra…

Users can still share draft files with other users either by allowing users with the link to view the file or by inviting them directly to the file, both of which can be done via the file’s share modal.
