I can never find the file I was working on :(

Hello !
Sad to hear that
Do you have any screenshot that could illustrate what you say ?

Hey @Deshpande_Aditi have you tried to filter your files?

I do not have a screenshot as such, it’s the view that we see in ‘Recents’ tab.
The files aren’t recent 🤷🏼‍♀️, they are in some different order

Yeah 😅
The files do not get ordered as ‘last viewed’. I mean, may be they get ordered, but the order is incorrect 😬.
The third file in this list is not the third last viewed file, more like file I viewed last week (not specifically, that’s just an example).

oh I think I figured it out. I share this folder with a team member. so I guess Figma tracks the recent files opened by both of us and not just me. that’s the reason order is probably messed up.
Thanks for suggesting solutions and going through the problem 🙂 @matteogonzalez and @Gayani_S

If you go into your Recents tab (https://www.figma.com/files/) you will see the last files you have opened.

I dont know… I see old files.
Am I missing some settings somewhere?

Try changing these setings on your Recents page

It’s great that there is a search bar. But isn’t it time that search be improved a bit to have some filters, or enable regular expression search? Often when I am looking for a file, I’ll remember an exact phrase of text in the file. Or I’ll remember that I had smart animation on one of the prototypes. Being able to triangulate on characteristics (has flows, has smart animations, has comments, has n # of pages, has a page named “{some name}”, etc…) of a design would enable me to more easily find my file.
